9/10 Wonderful! (1,742 reviews)
We were moved from one room to another due to a very loud wedding or party next door. Both rooms needed maintenance -night bulbs out, drains stopped up. The room was generally clean just worn. Sad to see such an iconic hotel this way! The courteous staff, lush vegetation and experiential cabana rooms will entice us to return again.
