Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful and well-maintained. The staff is very nice and friendly. Our only problem was that the AC did not cool the room fast enough, which was very hot when we walked in. I think they should keep some amount of air going before people check in. Otherwise, beautiful property and good gluten-free options for us."
