Very funky gay establishment. The staff were very friendly. We took advantage of the cheese and wine hour every night - very generous and good wine. Continental breakfast was fine with good coffee. The location is good with plenty of bars and eateries nearby - including the hotel's own bar on the ground floor. Be sure to take advantage of the 2-for-1 drinks from noon to 9pm. Bus stops nearby for the cheap bus to the beach.

The room was small. As was pointed out to us, the bed base protrudes about 6 inches beyond the mattress and is painted black like the carpet. Yes, we tripped over it and stubbed our toes. It would not cost much to put right - just sort it! The tiny wash basin in the corner of the room was cramped and inconvenient - but the toilet/shower room was too small to accommodate a sink. And a gay hotel room without a full length mirror ?!? There was plenty of wall space for one. The pool area is great but we would have appreciated quieter music in the afternoon so that we could relax, read a book, chat to people, whatever. Yes club volume at night or for pool parties but not all day every day.

People, please don't let the name fool you! The hospitality was 10/10. Cleanliness 10/10. I have no complaints at all. The location was near everything. The ubers weren't expensive either. Some places were walkable. I was there for my bday in May and had a great time. There were plenty of activities going on there at the hotel. Restaurant/bar had great 👍 food & drinks. The pool at night had a dj and plenty of entertainment. They had this cute thing when you purchased a drink, you got a token for a free drink of whatever you purchased, and the drinks weren't watered down. I'm going back again!! They're very welcoming to everyone 😊

Not one complaint at al!!!

Everyone went above and beyond. There where a couple of minor snags with the parking situation. Both David and & Eddie easily fixed the situation for me. Love the happy hour wine & cheese & breakfast is great to. Enjoyed having easy club access all night. I don’t quite the typical lgbtq folx that stay here. But never felt out of place either.

Please, please fridge and microwaves in the rooms. Kitchen hours are confusing, the last bartender was more interested in flirting with customers than working. Promptly told me the kitchen is closed. The attitude killed the night for me. Please educate bartenders more on pronouns.

I am a 62-year-old straight woman and happened upon this hotel by accident. It was definitely an obvious gay hotel once I came in, with very explicit art and objects around so at first I was caught off guard;) But…..I really enjoyed myself & all the staff was very outgoing,sweet and helpful! They made me feel very welcome, In spite of the fact I wasn’t gay & the only woman there at the time. It was a nice facility with a lovely pool, quiet & comfortable room! They had complimentary wine and cheese in the evening, and a wonderful breakfast in the morning. I would come back again and suggest it to gay or straight people.

I loved the ease of checking in, as well as the friendliness of Chris, Grayson, David, and Conrad. This was a completely different environment for my partner and I, so I'm sure we stuck out like a sore thumb. But thanks to the advice of the staff we had the time of our lives. We're definitely looking forward looking to visiting again soon. Thank you all for being so amazing.

Personally, I didn't have any concerns about our stay. I took the time to research/read the reviews from other guests and knew what to expect before booking. However, my partner gets really cold and didn't care for the temperature in the room. Additionally, he stomped his toes on the edge of bed a few times despite the warning. But other than that, "A Time Was Had."

From the very get go, management made a couple adjustments to accommodate me which made my whole stay much more comfortable. I was shown my room, especially the step up bathroom. The food was outstanding for bar food. Grilled chicken sandwich was unbelievable, shrimp with chili sauce was superb. You can eat in the night club or they'll gladly fix it to-go for your room. I don't drink but I was more than okay sitting at the bar. Bartenders gave me the same great service as a drinker. The whole theme of the hotel and artwork popped and came to life. David and his staff do exceptional work for the paying guests. I'm about to make reservations for three weeks from now.

I stubbed my toe on the bed even after I was warned about it by staff two times lol. All seriousness...I dont have any negative questions, comments or concerns.

We loved the location. Literally right above Cocktail bar/club. Even though it is above a club the room was very quiet. So many food and drink options in walking distance. I liked how a staff member walked us to our room and explained the room lay out etc.

Parking lot is about a block away and just a dirt lot. Some creaky, banging pipes. Bathroom is a bit small and awkward but understandable as it is a very historic building and their is only so much they are allowed to change.

Staff were excellent and accommodating. I was blown away from the friendliness and hospitality. Plus the welcome drink was a pleasant surprise.

Knowing it’s a renovated space from an older hotel, I knew to expect the room size to be small. I wasn’t expecting the bathroom sink to be outside of the bathroom. Honestly that’s minor and it was my only issue. The customer service completely made up for that minor issue.

My partner and I had a relaxing, great time. The staff outdid themselves. They showed all the amenities, and everything was super clean. They were amicable, professional, engaging, and caring. I am going back this summer/fall and stay longer.

It is something very minor, but it is a personal preference. I wish the pool was not so close to the bar, but it was all good.

It’s a pretty no-frills room but it didn’t matter. What they had was nice, everything was clean and well cared for and the staff were incredible. The atmosphere was cute, naughty and fun. It was all around very welcoming and the whole experience was great. Would do again.
