Reviews

Jae May 20, 2026 10:31:36 AM
Summary: We were very disappointed that ongoing construction on the property significantly impacted our experience. The hotel property also did not look like the photos advertised online due to the construction. We have stayed at this property before, and this visit was nothing like our previous experience due to the construction. Customers should be informed about any major construction at the time of booking, especially when they are paying full price for the room and the resort fee. We also booked a resort-view balcony room, but there were fences outside our balcony. I can provide photos if needed.
Marisa May 4, 2026 07:20:03 AM
Summary: We didn’t have a great stay here for the $457 one night price. Old, outdated and notably in the midst of a major renovation. Our room did not have a working TV, phone, or AC. We asked for help from Lu immediately upon check in and had to follow up twice to have any help or resolve. A lot of the property grounds are blocked off, and it wasn’t very convenient to walk around the property in spite of the gorgeous surroundings. For the price, I wouldn’t return.
Cecilia Apr 7, 2026 02:18:58 AM
Summary: We had a room on the 4th floor and it felt like an attic room. It was dark and had 3 high windows. No view and a little claustrophobic. The room was clean but the a/c didn’t work properly. It was very loud and didn’t stay cool. It would be very warm in the middle of the night. We are Marriot customers and were disappointed in this stay. Especially for the cost and all the construction going on.
Timothy Apr 5, 2026 09:11:58 PM
Summary: Excellent staff
Roy Mar 30, 2026 05:52:20 AM
Summary: Room was not cleaned for the last night of our stay. Had to pack our belongings and move to another room.
Kenneth Mar 21, 2026 04:07:12 AM
Summary: UNDER CONSTRUCTION. NO POOL. NO HOT WATER. BROWN COLD WATER! Bad Wi-Fi. This place was a disaster. Not only did the water not work on one day but when it came back on it was so brown it caused the white towels to turn brown. And they didn’t even provide bottled water in the empty fridge. Our balcony view was of a construction site! with construction noise all throughout the day. The Wi-Fi went in and out. Total waste!
Bruce Feb 19, 2026 04:29:31 AM
Summary: valet staff was very efficient
Kathleen Feb 17, 2026 04:57:06 AM
Summary: We could hear the people in the room next to us arguing and taking showers. They add a 20% service fee to everything even if you get the coffee from the barista in the lobby at the counter. The food was terrible and room service took 2 hours. They comped that meal but still... finally, our room was not cleaned until 4pm. We came back from activities at 3 and it was not cleaned. We had to call down for service.
Marcus Feb 7, 2026 04:54:24 AM
Summary: We booked an “ocean view” room with what I believed was a balcony as pictured on your website. When we got there we were told that no balcony rooms were available (even though your website currently showed “5 rooms available”. We were at first given a room with a partial ocean view, but mostly a view of the city. We complained, and the front desk young woman actually walked us to 2 other rooms with an ocean view (but no balcony). She was very polite and helpful but she obviously had limited options available. We had to settle for another room without a balcony. The hotel staff were friendly and polite but there is obviously a disconnect between Expedia and the hotel.
Tamara Feb 1, 2026 08:33:24 AM
Summary: The staff was exceptional at this property. I would love to return!
