More pros than cons, but still…
The atmosphere is enchanting,, with friendly service that makes you feel at home. The grounds are well maintained, inviting guests to relax and enjoy unique amenities.
Crowded pool areas often lead to discomfort, while the room amenities leave much to be desired with basic toiletries not restocked regularly.

The decor impresses with its exquisite details, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Highlight moments include the flawless gin martini at the Lobby Bar and the delicious pork banh mi at the diner. My Classic King room was spacious, featuring a comfortable bed and a unique tiled bathroom, making for a cozy retreat. However, noise from the pool area could be disruptive at times, especially later in the evening, which might be an issue for light sleepers.

This hotel suits me perfectly with its outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, and 24-hour reception. I remember when the staff helped me return my shower bag I forgot. Joseph's positive energy makes the stay even more enjoyable! I’ll be back for Christmas!

The poolside snack bar served some killer light meals! I chowed down on a scrumptious Wagyu burger that was pure paradise. Also, the historic pool vibe? Totally enchanting! Perfect for unwinding after a night filled with local bar hopping and live jams.
The restaurant was a bit of a letdown. Still, with the vibrant local eats just a hop away, it didn't feel too heavy on the heart.

Had a great time meeting with friends here, the staff treated us like royalty, specifically Joseph—who's got this charm like no other. The pool area was outstanding, we sat there for hours, soaking up the sun, great vibes all around!
It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but considering the experience, I think it was worth it.

So Chill, So Stylish!
This place nails that cool, luxe vibe! Had a killer stay in the Classic King. Super comfy bed, and I loved the walk-in closet. The coffee bar's espresso tonic is a must-try every morning! Just a heads up, the music at the pool can get loud at night, so if that's not your jam, keep that in mind.
