Varför människor älskar det

- Incredibly comfortable beds with SCAD-designed pillows
- Phenomenal Southern food at the on-site restaurant, Rhett
Snabb Överblick: You're paying a premium for the flawless aesthetic and prime location, but chronic understaffing means you might wait an hour for coffee creamer.
Recenserat av @cocoandb_adventures: My stay at The Alida was unforgettable. The penthouse terrace is massive, and sitting by the fire pit with river views was the highlight of my trip. The freestanding tub felt so luxurious, and the huge dining area was perfect for our group. I'd book this again in a heartbeat.

Renlighet & Underhåll

- Housekeeping: Generally spotless, but chronic understaffing means occasional missed spots, delayed requests, or sand left on the carpet.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly pristine with a fresh scent, though a few guests noted slow-flushing toilets or outdated countertops in some rooms.
- Maintenance: Well-maintained modern industrial design, but some reports of minor plumbing issues or AC units not responding to the control pad.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, plush bedding and SCAD-designed pillows. Towels are standard, but some rooms only provide one bathrobe for two guests.
- Odors & scents: A pleasant, signature scent flows from the lobby to the room toiletries, though one guest found it 'overly fragrant'.
