If colorful and esthetic are your principal criteria for a stay then you'll probably be happy with this hotel. The decor is very eye catching and pretty. You almost feel like you are in the middle of a Pottery Barn catalog page. But I think thats pretty much it.
I stayed at this hotel over Memorial Day weekend. I got the room for a decent price for a one nighter through Hotwire. The weather was pouring rain outside, and I was in from a long flight and starving. I was checked in and greeted promptly. Was pleased when I opened the door of my room and saw the pretty little beach theme that I had seen online.
I proceeded to jump to the book to find out whats on the room service menu and was totally bummed to find out that the hotel restaurant closes for hours and hours between meals. It would be at least 4 hours until I could get some food. I seriously tried to wait, but hunger got the best of me and I ended up going down the street to an overpriced Sushi restaurant for an appetizer.
When I got back I was exhausted and tried to take a nap, but the "adorable" wooden blinds, leave MUCH MUCH light to the room, so the comfortable hotel darkness that we all crave when we are traveling was a no go. The room has very beautiful wooden floors and with the rain, it made it sound like I was in just what the theme was showing me a beachhouse. With absolutely no quiet and no darkness.
I watched a movie and later on went down to the hotel restaurant to order up some food. The wait on the food was about 40 minutes since they have 1 poor man as the chef and the bartender and the cashier. He was friendly and was nice enough to bring up the food to my room, since I waited so long. Food was good, I had the salmon.. nothing over fancy about it.
After a sleeping pill.... finally sleep!!
So overall, not a terrible review, but I am a creature of comfort and this just did not have the long distance traveler in mind.
