It was a very nice hotel! The staff was very kind. The only complaint was the stains on the sheets and pillows and the hair left in the shower and on the linens.

I had a nice stay, and the room met all my needs (small fridge, coffee machine, clean bathroom and shower), but I found the hotel lobby and pool to be a bit run down. The pool deck was also flooded with dirty water that wouldn't drain. One of the main elevators in the lobby was out of service for the full stay, so there was one working elevator for guests. In terms of the location, there is not much in the area to do or see (especially walking), but it's a 20 minute drive to the airport, which is convenient for early flights out. Staff were kind and accommodating.

To their credit they did change rooms for us and moved us to a newly renovated room. Shower was awful as it was old, with some mold. They are in process of renovating and need some time but I didn’t feel they were ad clean as they need to be. Sheets don’t feel as clean as they should as there was an ink stain on one set in the new room.
