Negative Reviews
negative:
No in-room morning pick-me-up
Some guests have noted a distinct lack of coffee and tea making facilities in the rooms, as well as a lack of coffee facilities at the hotel. However, if you're desperate for a hot beverage, the in-room dining option likely has coffee, or you could stop into Oleanders Restaurant for a steaming cup of joe.
negative:
Very active pool while in season
A number of guests mentioned that the hotel pool, which is open only during the warmer months, doesn't just have swimming accommodations, but a bit of a scene. While a pool social club could be fun, it also means the pool is often very active, especially on the weekends, which could make it difficult to simply use it as a pool.
negative:
Pricey accommodations and dining
Although the McCarren Hotel & Pool is a great escape for tourists, hipsters, and even people from the area, it's also not exactly a budget accommodation. Located in the heart of the city, many guests have noted that, even with great food and charming yet small rooms, the rates and dinner prices can add up quickly.
