Look forward to absolutely no communication from the host and going through the hotel only for anything once you make your payment.
I did not stay in the unit pictured as it wasn’t available, and was instead offered a “complimentary upgrade” to a completely new location that was decent at best. We had to switch units due to an awful smell in the first one and the second unit looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months.
It’s a non-smoking property except at designated areas, but there are residents living there as well as guests who choose to smoke on their balconies leaving a smoke smell in the rooms if you leave your window open.
Most of the rooms face east so be prepared for sun shining in at the crack of dawn unless you ask for a different room at check in. If you run into this issue, a claw hair clip and masking tape will fix the curtains enough for an extra few minutes of darkness. The beds are really comfy though, that was a plus.
Overall it wasn’t bad and we are glad we had a place to stay, just not what we were expecting and definitely not as advertised. If you are offered an “upgrade” to the Paniolo Greens —don’t take it.
