Nice spot
Nicely updated room. Great location. Walkable to shopping and food at Coconut Mall next door. Only issue is parking. Not enough and they do have free valet but can be a hassle if they’re busy.

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay, recommended. Only issue is limited parking
Lisa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overpriced hotel
Hot water temperature was extremely variable. Sometime scalding, sometimes cool. On 3 of 7 nights could not get even a warm shower. On 3 other nights could up and down regulated the intermittantly scalding water to get an annoying, but warm shower. Only 1 of 7 nights did I get a shower you expect at $300 per night hotel. Parking also problematic. Not enough spaces.
