Isola Bella

Quirky, but effective

I liked the furnished extended-stay feel of the room. We were provided kitchen utensils, an on-site bar, adequate meals (breakfast and dinner) and a workout facility. The rooms were much better than most of the reviews. Were they fancy? No. Were they effective? Yes. The beds had a tempurpedic pad which was a huge plus to the end of some extremely long days.

I did not like the grounds. It was a mixture of extended stayers, short term travelers and permanent residences. I wish the groups were separated more. I think the short term occupants would respect the grounds more than the permanent residents. I did not like the checkout process either. We had 4 room keys and could not turn them in to the front desk. Since we left on a Sunday, the front desk wasn't open until 11, but checkout was required to be done before 11. I called the office and left a message and even went to the Bar/Concierge, but that was locked until 9am. We ultimately dropped our keys off in the permanent resident's rent drop-box and left the office a voicemail that they did not return.
