Poolside was great. Property was good except that they were remodeling which took away from what I presume would be a beautiful property. We would definitely stay here again.

The loft itself was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Unfortunately, the nightclub located downstairs in the building operates until 2:00 AM, and the noise level made it extremely difficult to sleep. It honestly felt as though we were inside the party until it ended. Zero sleep was had.
