Very helpful and attentive staff! My only complaint was that there wa solid construction going on outside that woke us up very early. I’m not counting it against the hotel since it’s out of there control but a heads up would’ve been nice. Awesome stay! Would recommend to any friend group or couple.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Super unique hotel and decor mostly frequented by a very young and trendy clientele. While this is great it’s not for everyone. I found it great overall as it was a really unusual mix of bars, a pool a good restaurant and felt alive and youthful compared to most stale hotels and I’m over 60 years old! My room was lovely and like a 1950’s style which I loved - it had a crazy well stocked bar - I mean crazy like 50 different drinks! The corridors are a little worn but overall ok. I’d recommend if you are not really fussy and open minded and like something different compared to stuffy no personality hotels.

This was my third time staying here, and like the two times before, I loved it. Like always, the property was clean and beautiful. The beds are the most comfortable ever. There is plenty to do, and the food in the diner and at Quixote was delicious. As typical service is generally on the slower side. Otherwise, the majority of the staff provided great customer service minus one or two bartenders that were short and a little rude. All in all, I love this place, and will be back a 4th time.

This property is even more beautiful in person! Valet was super helpful with parking our vehicle where we were able to access it during our stay. The concierge was able to accommodate a slightly early check-in. I also requested a very specific room and had my request accommodated- I was very grateful for that. Although I visited a Monday through Wednesday, it felt like a weekend! On Monday, there was a DJ, a synchronized swimming performance, and sponsored non-alcoholic bevy's for pool guests to keep hydrated. On Tuesday, there was sponsored merchandise given out from a tequila brand. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back. Thank you for making my birthday special, Lafayette!
