    Noise from elevator and loud people hanging out in the halls. Teenagers. I mean a little is to be expected but they were noisy and in hall for about 2 hrs. Bars and restaurants close to early. No microwave and website needs updates on parking

    Size of room staff was excellent pretty clean food was good

    A great hotel, but plan it well in advance!

    Despite attempting to book a day or so in advance there were no tables at the huge main restaurant, the Elliot Aster, which appeared to be extremely popular with locals. We were initially told they held some tables back for hotel guests but on arrival there were none, and it wasn't really feasible for us to eat elsewhere. We did eventually get two seats in the bar area at a high table. We had to wait a while for service (even a drink) and then the waiter perhaps inadvisably and rather condescendingly said he was sure he could "persuade the kitchen to cook us something" - A little bit galling when the total bill for our one night stay came to around $900. However, he turned out to be a very friendly and attentive server so we put it down to a joke gone wrong. His comment was also mitigated by the superb food he delivered. I had spaghetti bolognaise (ragu style) which was as good as any I had had in Bologna, Italy, just a month earlier.

    We loved the "Southern" ambience of this hotel, which you don't often get these days. Very high standard of room décor and facilities, particularly in the bathroom which was well appointed with an all marble finish and pleasant toiletries etc. The compulsory $40 "resort fee" was a surprise and I thought an annoying addition to the rate as we didn't intend to use the beach or pool etc, BUT it turned out to be excellent value as we had nearly $100 worth of free cocktails and fast broadband included. The staff at the Veranda bar were excellent. Mike, I think his name was, even demonstrated how he "smoked" our cocktails at the table when I asked how it was done. Service well beyond expectations. Restaurant food excellent, (though see below).

    The only downside was the high priced dinner at their restaurant. Also, I would add some warmth to the restaurant- maybe plants and comfortable chairs- to add to the ambiance…

    We had a great time at the Vinoy just before Christmas. It was beautifully decorated in the lobby, and we loved sitting in the comfortable chairs on the porch having pre- dinner drinks. Also sitting at the pool was so relaxing . The location is perfect-across from the bay and downtown. The staff were incredibly friendly, especially the kind man who waited on our table in the restaurant.

    They were still under construction due to damage from the hurricane, so when trying to enjoy the jacuzzi all I could hear was sawing and this was at 7pm Friday evening so I wasn't expecting that. Also my mini frig wasn't working and I called for them to come check it out and no one ever came.

    Room was clean and neat, staff was friendly and helpful, everything was wonderful and food at Paul's was very good. I also had spa services that were amazing, a massage and a facial.

    Food selection was limited and quality mediocre. LYout of the property is very confusing with multiple towers spewed out all over, each with own elevators (which are tiny) forcing you to navigate a labyrinth to get from one place to another for example from our room to the restaurant we had to take a set of stairs down (no ramp or ADA accommodation there that we could find) hike down a hallway then take a ticked away elevation back up to same level we started but in a different section of the property we couldn’t reach otherwise. And although the room was nice it wasn’t worth the approx $500 a night we paid

    Beautiful classic architecture, super comfortable bed, modern remodel, waterside location, very nice staff, availability of room service, nice pool

    Just a suggestion that it would be nice if hotel offered local transportation service. I'm used to Opal at Lido Beach, they have a van that transports you to Armands Circle. Just a thought.

    Room was very large, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very modern and new.

    The restaurant. The decor was not inviting at all, reminiscent of a hospital cafeteria and the menu extremely limited. With all the competition you have just down the street, I feel you are missing an opportunity to bring more customers in. Why not add some charm and coziness to the place (like the rest of the hotel) and expand the menu.

    The friendliness of the staff, everyone went out of their way to be helpful.
