mediocre stay with concerning issues
acceptable locationmold issuepoorly planned layout
the hotel's location near the marina proved acceptable for exploring the area.
My room reeked of humidity and mold. The smell was pervasive. the room did not match the photos online, and the layout felt cramped and poorly planned. i found the overall experience disappointing for a supposed five-star hotel, especially given the price.

the location WAS great AND the included breakfast was acceptable.
the water pressure in the room was EXTREMELY low. what water DID come out didn't drain AWAY. Maintenance staff left the bathroom VERY dirty with footprints all OVER the shower mat and bathroom FLOOR. i DO NOT expect this level of behavior at ANY hotel.
