Check in was at 4pm. Walked in at 4:30 and was told the room wasn’t ready. We then had to wait until 6:30pm for our room to be ready. This was very inconvenient for us because we had 4 big luggage bags that we had to haul around with us. Also, once we got checked in, we got to our room. The hotel smelled very dirty, the floors were sticky, like they have never been cleaned. The shower was gross. The bed mattress was broken. The fridge in the room didn’t work. The customer service was terrible, they weren’t willing to do anything to help us feel more welcomed. They just kept blaming it on them being “at capacity”. I will never stay here again, nor will I recommend this hotel to anyone. Beware!

Check in was a mess,patio door didn’t open so we had zero access to our private pool,toilet does work or fill,if these were fixed I would give it a 5 star because location is perfect but without the private pool it was not a penthouse experience and they still charged us full price,hopefully they see this and offer some compensation

The staff was kind, although housekeeping was trying to get into our room to clean before we checked out, around 9 or 9:30 am. The room was ok, you could hear loud music from a neighboring venue (club) until 1 am, and there was only one coffee pod in our room. No ice to be found (my husband had a blood blister that we were trying to manage). And the "resort fee" for the silly little pool available seemed steep, we never saw anyone in there, although we did see some people check out a couple of bikes. It was a place to sleep, but I wouldn't visit again.

Excellent hotel/room. Not only was the room nicely decorated with a good view, it was spotless. The reason for the 4 stars is the restaurant/club between the hotel buildings, Ocean's Ten. The bass from the music goes into the am hours. Fortunately I had my noise canceling ear buds so I was able to get some sleep. My suggestion we be for the hotel to have them stop the bass at 10 pm or certainly midnight so that guests can get some shut eye.
