Place is great. Furniture in the room is showing it’s age so there’s some wear n tear going on aside from that good times
A
8,0 Very Good
Pros:The amazing view and comfy king size bed!
Cons:Better communication between staff. Went down to the pool and had a bunch of people from the balconies yelling at me to get out because a kid had pooped in it earlier. There wasn’t anything saying the pool was closed. I called the front desk and the woman didn’t say a thing. Pretty embarrassing to get in the pool and get right out.

8,2 Very Good
Pros:The customer service is superior, the location is ideal. The room looked nice just a couple minor areas things needed to be addressed. TV did not work and the cleaning crew needed to revisit our room. They addressed my concerns immediately!!

A
6,5 Okay
Pros:I like the location and the service.
Cons:This hotel at $600/night is wildly overpriced. It should be $250-300 at most. I didn't even get free parking (had to pay $25/day) even though I was completely ripped off. Unfortunately I had no other viable options.
