Very cool, unique hotel. I rant colors and atmosphere. It’s a great place to party and the pool area is awesome. They need to do something different with the bed platform. It sticks out beyond the mattress with sharp corners that will eat up your shins.

Just a very noisy bar with a few rooms on the 2 floors above it. The outdoor swimming pool area has thumping music blasting all day long. Not a leisurely place, no relaxing around the pool, very frenzied atmosphere, only the drunks and tweeked-out twinks would like this place. Unless you want to party all the time you are there, this is not a resort that the average gay traveller would enjoy.

Super cool area, you could stay a week and not repeat a single dinning option, request a high floor, the basement is a nightclub but you could BARELY hear it at night. Great staff and they seemed to WANT to be there unlike alot of hotels i have stayed at. Clean, smells great, and very convenient! See yall in June!

Tiny rooms, even tinier sinks in the guest rooms. The corners of the bed we had protrude too far out, so we constantly kept hitting them with our toes. We were warned about it by front desk clerk but nonetheless, it's worth mentioning. Other than that - excellent stay. Staff is on top of everything, and very pleasant. Nice pool, and good entertainment downstairs. Good breakfast, and good vibe. Thank you, we would stay again.
