I think all of the added pop-up shops in the entrance in the lobby is tacky and takes away from the overall beautiful decor . And the tents outside and the different color furniture in the grass just doesn't look like a sophisticated resort

I have stayed here several times, but this was the most disappointing stay I've had. Even though we booked a "suite", the room was in poor condition. The sofa was torn up and the curtains were torn up....very sad condition for a room that was $650 a night. Not sure what is going on with this property, but it isn't up to standards at all.

Very cool old building and I did enjoy staying here. Seems very much that it needs some renovation. Very thin walls, smallish rooms (though enormous hallways). Very busy pool/club area. Air conditioning is water cooled so feels muggy and is quite loud. Nothing about this hotel is terrible, it’s a very cool, beautiful historic hotel but it does seem needing renovations and rooms need updating. While the service is pleasant I just would expect a slight bit more professionalism and attention to detail. I would class the service as rather casual in a way that I was not expecting. Sort of what you would get at a mid-range beach resort. Again, everyone was very very nice but just a bit scattered and disorganized. Perhaps I was just expecting something different.

Didn’t like that I paid $500 a night for a deluxe King room with a Bay view and what I got was a TINY room with a small window in the corner with a view only from the entry door, that’s not a room with a view. The air unit clicked all night and kept us up, but it was too warm not to run the air. The towels were scratchy. This hotel was very disappointing
