Nice location and various nearby choices to eat/drink. The hotel had a very foul odor, no room service, electricity went out during my stay, the room temperature was very high (80's) in the middle of August and I couldn't adjust the thermostat. I would give it a higher rating for being a cute boutique style stay, but I was extremely disappointed.

Our stay was short, but we were excited for a little getaway. I used reward points for our stay and paid around $150 out of pocket. Overall the property felt run down, little details in regards to cleaning felt somewhat missed. The caramels left in our room unfortunately had ants in them so we tossed them. We also woke up to a lot of ants in our bed as well. I unfortunately do regret using the points I had saved for what I thought would be a splurge night for us.

As always, our stay was great. We had the King Bed room with balcony. The only small issue we had was that there were ants in and around the complimentary candy left on the desk. Housekeeping immediately came to the room and resolved the issue.

We found ourselves staying at what was the Lorien Hotel and SPA two weeks after the acquisition by the Archer Group. The staff were still working out the bugs in their new systems. The big complaint was with the HVAC Systems in what seemed to be many of the rooms. Noisy with water dripping from the condensation lines and loud noises when the system kicked off and on. All of which made sleeping through the night impossible. Not what one would expect from a higher end hotel. The staff were most apologetic and accommodating, but they were clearly unable to rectify the problems.
