5/5
It's a beautiful, classic hotel with upgrades that make it modern and clean. We didn't go to the pool or jacuzzi but I love that there's that option. Everyone is very kind and hospitable. Even the valet team was helpful and supportive. Location is perfect if you want to be close to state street, but far enought that it's calm and clean. Partial ocean view was perfect.

Exceptional service, beautiful decor and grounds
Very friendly and professional staff.
Beautiful location by the beach. The decor and attention to detail is impressive. Convivio Restaurant for breakfast and dinner was spot on. All in all, the best luxury hotel we have visited in the area. Recommend highly.
