Our stay was amazing! We were so inspired by the design and architecture (and smell) of the venue!
The Beginner’s Diner was delicious! Banana+Coconut milkshake is a must-have!
Thanks for making my husband’s birthday so special!

Great stay! Perfect for a girls trip. Literally did not need to leave the hotel- fun pool, great bar, absolutely amazing food. Only thing to note is that it is an older building so the rooms are not sound proof- I was in a standard king and it was very loud, even with earplugs and a sleeping pill I had a hard time sleeping. Also, pool gets super crowded! But will definitely be back!

Very vibey, cool, party hotel! Very laid back staff, super busy bars and pool. We got early check in but no late check out. Woke up early to claim a chair by the pool. Didn’t have a kettle or coffee in my room. Food was great! Drinks so expensive but delish!

My sister and I loved this place! The vibes are immaculate. The only suggestion I have is to add another trash can in the rooms. There’s only one in the restroom and another would be useful. The servers around the pool are awesome and I love the text concierge.
