My stay at the hotel was quite unique. The rooms had a distinctive charm, likely hosting memorable parties in the past. However, the absence of a shower curtain was a downside. The service was truly exceptional, with attentive staff going the extra mile. The location was a mixed bag, offering a vibrant experience but feeling slightly intrusive.

I had a great time staying at this hotel. The location is amazing, right by the pool and just steps away from South Congress Ave in Central Standard. The rooms were comfortable, but could use more lighting, electrical plugs, and a chair. The service was exceptional, with super friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to make my stay memorable. The dining experience was good, with delicious home-grown organic fruits. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with a few areas that could be improved.
