Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pros: the view from our room with a balcony was absolutely gorgeous! and great location that’s close to everything. Cons: Sofa bed hard as a rock. Very Basic Breakfast was cold and provided in a box in the morning. This could be greatly improved. But a bowl of cereal and an orange juice box isn’t going to cut it, or a jimmy dean sandwich I had to microwave . This really cheapens the over feel of our hotel stay. We had Constant noise from upstairs thumping and loud walking in the middle of night and early morning so I couldn’t get a good night sleep. Not sure why this went on for three days , maybe the walls are thin / no sound proofing. I won’t stay here again , due to the cons. I didn’t get a good night sleep and neither did my travel companion and I don’t find the hotel offering what I wanted for the price I paid which was almost 900 for three nights.
