Overpriced
Pros: Beautiful lobby. Convenient shops below. Great location. Cons: My room was obviously old with lots of patches on walls. Clean, but not updated. And my room looked over the ally with the fire escape stairs crossing my window. In addition, there was an outdoor utility light on the building across the ally that was on all night. Even with curtains closed, there was still light coming into my room. For $500 per night I expected more.

Expensive but level of service and general atmosphere was worth it at least for me.
Pros: Beautiful hotel. Modernized but touches of yesteryear throughout the property. Food was excellent. Was there for private event and the service and food were both outstanding. Cons: Completely outside the control of the hotel but outside vehicle noise was disturbing especially late night/early morning.

Pros: The location was fantastic! A 5 minute walk from the beach. Cons: Our room wasn't the cleanest
Pros: The location was fantastic! A 5 minute walk from the beach. Cons: Our room wasn't the cleanest. There was water mold smells and general mess that we weren't expecting (like previous guests snacks leftover in a drawer). For the price that was surprising. Everything else was pretty fantastic.
