Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite lovely. The rooms, though smallish, were well-appointed with an updated bathroom, making it great to relax with a glass of wine late into the evening. The service was exceptional, with everyone being super accommodating and friendly. The location was beautiful, surrounded by lush gardens and fountains. However, the dining options were mundane for the cost. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, overlooking the garden. However, it was a bit inconvenient to be asked for an hourly fee to stay later the next day, and the room temperature was a bit warm at 87.4 degrees.
I found this hotel to be a gem with its spacious and comfortable rooms, though some areas like the coffee machine could use improvement. The service was exceptional with a fantastic team making my stay enjoyable. The location was simply stunning, surrounded by lush gardens and offering relaxing nooks. Dining was a mix of good and okay experiences, with highlights in the delicious pastries. Overall, a great place with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers great food and a quiet, nice stay but could use a little renovation in the rooms. The coffee machine was not restocked and dirty, and the older rooms were nice enough but could use some TLC. Overall, the stay was pleasant despite a few minor issues.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The rooms differ in quality across buildings, so it's essential to inquire upon check-in. I paid around $300 a night and was delighted to find a fireplace in my room at the Valencia building, creating a cozy and peaceful atmosphere.
