Great Location! Great staff! Great Architecture! Comfy beds & more. Our visit to the Ivens was indeed special. When one walks into the hotel, you walk down a staircase and are immediately transported to a different place and time. The hotel evokes the memories of the great explorers at the turn of the 20th century. The hard wood, the library, tiles around the fireplace make it a warm and relaxing space. Once checked in we went to the room and found it perfectly appointed. The bed is one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in. The mini-bar was super stocked and the shower was great and warm. Breakfasts were more than enough. The staff was amazing. We got to like everyone. Your coffee, water, or juice was never empty. The portions were spot-on and the yogurt was homemade. The concierge & doormen were incredibly helpful. They didn't miss a step, whether it was handling luggage, guiding us to the shopping district around the corner, or giving us just general tips. The entire hotel staff rocked. The location was pretty awesome too. We could walk around and feel safe, and it was an easy jaunt to the ocean, coming back, uphill, was a little different lol. Overall, one of the best properties we have stayed at.
