The hotel is expensive, but the room is small, has no bathtub, and has no sea view. Most of the money is spent on the location and exquisite decoration. Hotel parking also costs money, and none of the services are provided for free, so a hotel that costs 7,700 to 8,000 or 8,000 per night is really not cost-effective. Of course, it also has a sense of history and design. It is true that many rich people live there, but if you want to truly enjoy the feeling of being rich, you'd better book a room for more than 10,000 yuan a night, otherwise you will regret throwing money away like me. Inside. Don't say that I am poor and have not seen the world. I moved out and lived in downtown Santa Barbara, LA and other places. There is no harm in not comparing. I can only say that you can stay here if you don’t mind the money. After all, it’s a luxury hotel and you won’t feel uncomfortable. But your little money can’t buy you elegance. Just don’t be fooled by Xiaohongshu’s sales like me.

Wonderful room and service. Everyone at this place is very attentive and very easy to communicate with. The valet is amazing!

I just think it was significantly over priced for the provided room. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable hard cheap mattresses I've been on. Loud and squeaky. The ac unit was loud. Upstairs guests loud, but that's not really a hotel issue. Fees were crazy and not listed prior. 60$ for parking plus 60$ for amenities that you don't even use. I would go to the ritz next time.

Hotel was good to look at. Room was ok. Service good. Overall, nothing special for the price point. Restaurant was over-priced and average food. Cocktails were great.

The hotel is beautiful. Location is perfect. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it. We had the king size bed and literally melted to sleep, it was so comfortable.

The room was beautiful, and the hotel is in a great location. We got an early check-in, always nice. Lots of restaurants in the area. Easy walk to the wharf and beach. Going the opposite direction on State St., you come to the busy area of State St. Further on down (10 min. drive), you come to lower State St. with a calmer vibe of restaurants and shops. Wish we had been able to stay longer.
