I liked that compare to most; it was clean and convinient for last minute. They just need to mop the rooms as part of the cleanning.House keepers are really nice and there is always people working on the property, whether it was cleanning for fixing stuff. I didn't like when I made the reservation through Travelocity I was offered a different deal that what the Hotel themselves did not had the same deal. So it was frustrating to make a reservation with certain amount of money and then you go to the hotel and they tell you that you have to pay the whole stay amount upfront plus a $150 dollars deposit fee up front. When I made the reservation it was a total of $895 and when I went to check in I ended up paying close to $1,500. It was dissapointing.

Renovations in the works
Rooms appeared to be freshly renovated, and were clean and very tastefully done. The pool was very basic, but a nice size, and look very clean. I like the tiki hut, as you first came in the hotel, a great place to relax and have a beverage. The hotel didn’t offer breakfast, but there was a room next to the lobby that is being renovated and I’m guessing that is where breakfast will be offered in the future. The hotel does sit very close to the flight path at the airport. However, the noise of airplanes was not noticeable. The price was reasonable and I would stay there again.
