Check-in wait
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM (16:00); Check-out is by 11:00 AM.
Best time to stay
Late evening around 9:00 PM to take full advantage of the open-air rooftop terraces for unobstructed views of the nearby fireworks displays, or mid-week for a much quieter, relaxed atmosphere around the courtyard pool area.
Guest mix
A cosmopolitan mix of LGBTQ+ travelers, business professionals attending the nearby convention center, couples seeking a romantic design-forward stay, and aesthetic-loving tourists.

Smart casual to resort chic. The lobby and lounges favor stylishly relaxed vacation wear (sundresses, collared shirts, tailored shorts), while standard, fashionable swimwear is perfect for the pool deck oasis.
