Utterly chaotic upon check in. Took a full hour to sort parking (valet never appeared, self-parked across the street). This hotel is like a small city unto itself. If you're looking for a romantic getaway, this is not the spot for you.

Pro: Adults-only spa and pool area.
Con: Room service ends at 12:30 a.m., which is early given the location of the hotel.

Friendly, if beleaguered staff. Will not be returning.
