The Ryder hotel was great. Very modern inside, stellar pool area, and perfect location. We also were grateful they were able to do a bag check after we checked out. Our only con was our room window faced a block wall which for one was boring but also made our room very dark. Otherwise great stay! Also a bonus they gave a $10 credit to the coffee shop, loved it!

Great,spacious condo. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for family with 2 teens. 2-3 minute walk to the beautiful beach. Nice outdoor grills and corn hole. Pickleball courts were nice.

First-Class Prices, Third-Class Service The property is attractive and clearly markets and prices itself as a high-end hotel, but the service falls well short. The main problem was not simply that things went wrong, but the indifference when they did: almost no apologies, little sense of ownership, and nobody once asked how my stay was. At check-in, with only one person on reception, I waited around 15 minutes while a complicated multi-room booking was handled amid loud confusion. On departure day I was locked out of my room at 10.00 a.m., despite an 11.00 a.m. check-out. Reception could not fix the key, had to send someone with a master key, and offered no apology. At the bar, staff were often more focused on conversations than service. On two occasions, a bartender stopped making my cocktail for around 30 seconds to continue chatting, then seemed to lose track of what they were doing. Poolside service was equally indifferent. A few minutes before 7.00 p.m. I was simply told that last orders had gone, with no attempt to help. The pool area was chaotic, with children taking over loungers and using cushions to build play castles, while dirty plates, half-eaten food, glasses and wet towels were left around. Finally, the valet took my keys while I collected luggage, then disappeared; nobody knew where they were, causing another 15-minute delay. Hotel Bardo looks and charges like a luxury hotel, but the staff do not seem to understand what high-level service means.

We had a fantastic stay, all staff were wonderful, the rooftop breakfast was perfect and the views from our room were spectacular. The room was spacious we would definitely stay here again.

Overall okay, but the staff is truly not helpful all around. Especially when checking out we have been treated with no respect from the receptionist because of the wrong information provided at the beginning. At some point she told our parties to leave cos she cant deal with it. She also raised her voice and did not want to listen.

My husband and I have stayed in two other Relais and Chateaux properties (Hotel Wailea in Maui and Chatham Inn in Cape Cod) and both were stunning in terms of hotel grounds, cleanliness, room and hotel decor and staff helpfulness and service. For each of our three stays we were celebrating special occasions and all locations personalized our birthday and anniversary occasions with champagne and a personal note. Planters Inn sent a piece of coconut cake for my 66th birthday which was delicious and much appreciated. The downfall of Planters Inn is that room #226 had stains on a couple of the chairs and on the carpet. There was someone else's hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived which is a pet peeve of mine, especially at a highly rated hotel. The bathroom itself contained a plastic tub/shower instead of a walk-in shower. The mattress on the bed was old and unsupportive which did not lend to a good night's sleep and the "night stand" was so far away from the bed I had to sit up to reach my phone or turn the light off and on. What was worst of all was getting awakened at 6:30 in the morning to the sounds of trash thunking in the dumpster outside our window. It was in very poor taste for the hotel management not to have told us about the renovation going on which would have allowed us to make an informed decision about whether to book the hotel or not. We loved the city, the people, the food and the history but we will NEVER return to this hotel.

Overall I was pleased with the Godley. Yes the breakfast had room for improvement, a waffle maker would be good for those of us wanting a little more than continental fare. Parking is tight, but it’s available and included so that’s good. No loud kids, or adults, running up and down the hallways so that was good, but a crying baby made for a pretty good competition for my white noise machine. The beautiful hardwood floors also transfer a lot of noise to the rooms under them, stay away from room 102. 102 is right under the the check-in desk and every move made at the desk is transferred straight through the hardwood and straight into the room.
