It is a little pricey, but the location makes it worth it. It is so convenient. Rooms can get some updating because they are kind of old. The only 2 complaints I have are the overnight parking that cost $30 a night and the gate to enter and exit the resort is broken. I read reviews from June and July that it is faulty, but thought they would fix it by August.. I feel that if we pay so much at a resort we can at least get free parking and the gate should work. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

The front desk is very strict. You must have a visa card to stay. At the restaurant at the door, I bought breakfast with breakfast. It used to mean breakfast deducted with $50. You can order it yourself. The restaurant is delicious The highlight is the pool, you will love the experience here....a large piece at hand. The pool is warm water. The room is classic old money style Health: OK Facilities: Classic Environment: City Centre Service: Soso

The parking at $40 a night plus tax is too high, but other than that it was a lovely stay. Pool and hot tub were great and a nice relaxing atmosphere by the fires they light at night.

Absolutely wonderful location. The bike / walking path is a minute walk from the hotel, right along the beach. There's a little grocery store about a 5 minute walk up S Milpas St, so convenient. Lots of great places to eat within walking distance (1 mile) or a short drive. I didn't eat at the hotel. The room was clean but toiletries were not replenished, and my dirty glasses were not washed or replaced. For the high price tag, I would have expected that. The air conditioning in the room was great, quiet, and easy to adjust.The front desk team was very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite people were the Valet team. They were fun to speak with, very down to earth and did their job well. Valet parking is $26.00 / night. I didn't see that price anywhere when I booked.

A great stay experience, really at home. As if at home, I don't feel like living in a hotel. The European style of the hotel is very comfortable and the rooms are clean and tidy. I will choose to live here if I have the opportunity, and I will recommend it to my friends...

Cute renovated old hotel with the vintage elevator very charming. However, I booked the hotel because it was promoted as a hotel with a spa. However, it did not have a spa and recommended a spa that was several miles away. Although I think I might go back cute.
