| - Stayed here last night and I didn't feel like it held up to the yelp reviews.
First the positives, the room was very spacious. There was plenty of room to lounge around. Also the room was decorated pretty nice. It gave me a very cozy feeling. Even thou I didn't use it, there were hammocks for public use which is pretty cool. Other than that I can't think of any other positives about this place.
Now for the negatives, even though the rooms were decorated well, the rooms were pretty dim. Most of the decorations were darker colors which made the room a little darker. Decided to open up the window to let some light in and there wasn't that mesh that lets light in and keeps people from staring in.
The balcony that we had was horrible. First there was a bunch of bleach smell, which can be good because it's clean, but I see it as a bad because it was so strong I couldn't stand out there for very long. The balcony view on the right was also horrible, since the room was in the corner the two buildings on the left and the right blocked most of the view. I felt like my room was in an ally way and i could only see bits and piece of people walking by. Along with the balcony view, on the left side, was a cat walk, which i wouldn't have mind but it was so close that if our blinds were opened anybody could see straight into the our bed room. This wouldn't have been so bad if it had the mesh things i mentioned above, but they didn't so it's a fail for them.
Now for the bathroom, there's a few little things that bugged me about this hotel. First off, the sink is round and tall, kind of like a big salad bowl. I don't mind it looking like a salad bowl, until i turned on the water, the pressure was so high that the faucet sink shot the water right out of the bowl like a water slide and got me all wet. Secondly, I was expecting a tub, something that i could sit in a relax my muscles, but there wasn't one, I thought I heard that all the rooms had one, but i could be wrong. So this last one could have gone either way. Third, there were no cups for us to use to brush our teeth, we had to scoop the water with our hands to rinse our mouth. Lastly, I don't know if the water was safe to use, when i turned on the water, it kind of smelled like chlorine, not sure if it was me, but i doubt it.
Lastly the the biggest disappointment of this hotel was the PARKING!!!! This hotel if i remember correctly only holds about 150 rooms which is suppose to give the feel of a private community, what they don't tell you is there are ONLY 150 parking spots, or at least that's what it looked like to me. But what sucks about that is it seemed like they saved 130 spots for valet and 20 for self parking. Also that i don't mind, but when we got back from dinner and wanted to park, ALL THE SPOTS WERE TAKEN!! Even the valet spots were taken, they had to park cars where you check into the valet making passing the front doors impossible.
So we asked an employee what we should do and he said that we should valet park it, which we didn't mind, so we asked him if it was possible, then he said they were all full!!! Why suggest something when you know it's full!!! So we asked what we should do since self parking and valet parking was full, he just laughed said he didn't know, and walked away!!! WTF right!? We ended up parking across the street at the Hard Rock hotel and walking back to the hotel! Out of everything that happened, this pissed me off the most.
Over all, the decoration is good, but other than that, I hate everything else. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody, I rather pay double the price at another hotel than come back here. .
