I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The location is ideal, just across the street from the beach and near many restaurants. The rooms were clean and well-furnished, with a beautiful view over the beach. However, my room wasn't ready despite booking a week in advance. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff. The dining options were good but slightly pricey. Overall, a great value for the excellent location and service.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and with a variety of restaurants nearby. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, felt a bit dated and in need of a refresh. The service was a hit or miss with some staff being exceptionally nice while others were rude. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is superb with a beautiful view, especially for those lucky enough to get an oceanfront room. The service was great overall, despite being short-staffed, always attentive to requests.

The BEST location out of any other hotel, with a beautiful oceanfront view. Close to Lido Beach and Siesta Key, making it a top spot in Florida, although there could have been more umbrellas available.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious, clean, and sanitized - which was a big plus, unfortunately, my room faced the parking lot and it was flooded by a pipe burst from above. The service was friendly but mostly limited to check-in and check-out. The location was fantastic being near Lido Beach and close to St Armands Circle. The dining experience was decent, yet a bit confusing with payment. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
