Hotel great was great other than our room  - room 135, unbelievable noise. One wall is shared with back of a bar. Constant noises from bottles being moved, jarred, barstools scraping across the floor. Outside/courtyard wall has restaurant and one evening, a jazz band (you can’t make this stuff up) which was all of four feet from our window.

The Emeline Hotel is very unique. We got upgraded to a one bedroom suite which was a wonderful surprise. They have a great coffee place inside and a small shopping area - big bar and sitting area outside. There sister hotel is the Ryder - so they give you drink tokens and you can get a free drink and sit near the pool if you wish. They did not charge us for valet parking -- which was super cool something to do with our status but yet The Ryder Hotel DID CHARGE 55.-- for parking plus resort fee. Had a nice welcome drink upon arrival

Was upgraded to a suite and the staff was very nice. Rooms have a great, sort of retro look to them. Bathroom was clean and the toiletries all smelled amazing. The water dispenser on each floor was a huge help, I get dehydrated when I’m traveling and I was visiting during a hot week. Would definitely stay again if I ever return to the area.

Love the vibe at Emeline! Our room was gorgeous! The fun record player, velvet couch, and bath robes made it extra cozy. They have everything you need at the hotel. Shopping, restaurants, bars, historical sites, are all within walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back.

I had a wonderful stay here. The front desk staff were fantastic. A Welcome drink is always a nice touch. The location is amazing if you want to be close to everything. Beautiful and clean room. Restaurant, bar and cafe onsite were all great. The patio with fireplace was nice to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail. The bed sagged a bit but I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
