We were extremely disappointed with our stay at Kimpton Las Mercedes. The hotel is advertised as luxury, but the surrounding area felt unsafe and nothing like the photos, more like a rundown neighborhood. Our room was much smaller than described and located right across from the elevator, making it very noisy with no privacy. The view from both the room and pool area was of deteriorated buildings, not the city view shown online. Customer service was also not up to par. We checked out after one night even though we had planned to stay longer. This property is misleading and not worth the price.

Beautiful property antique looking but unfortunately has a very musty and humid smell it was very unpleasant and I was not able to rest during my stay do to the unpleasant smell. I made the front desk aware of the issue but nothing was done about it.
