“This hotel places guests directly across from Lido Beach, and within a short walk of St. Armands Circle. I appreciate the recently renovated, circus-chic decor, and the option to easily use the amenities at the sister Lido Beach Resort. The inclusion of parking in the resort fee is a practical advantage, as is the provision of shuttle service to local attractions.”
