Inside the property it was very nice, no complaints. A few streets over and it does start to feel unsafe very quickly, just walk without your earbuds in though and you'll be fine.

God forbid you are at the rooftop on a slow 6:45 pm night or else they’ll shut down the pool and “kindly , gesture” to move closer to the Bar, as the pool will be closed in your face. I personally felt targeted, please leave me alone. Or keep it closed.

My review had nothing to do with the property! It has to do with Expedia’s utter incompetence! I requested a single person, one room. Single means one! Not four! I don’t know why I would ever consider booking with Expedia ever again without extreme compensation for the worst trip I have ever had!

Bad timing for great experience
It was just ok. Get deception for the not working fridge in room, we lost our milk bottle ! Also big big disappointment to get access to roof top bar and pool because it was reserved for a private event. The option to go at Perla hotels was not enough to be satisfied and give more appreciation.
