I love the comfortable beds and the cleaning service. The hotel has really good breakfast and really nice staff. The pool however has a weird smell to it and it cold.

Well I had to wait on someone to show up for 5 to 10 minutes. Requested 2 queen's and she put me in a king. Asked for low floor and she put me on 3rd of 4 floors.
Then she had to go check the room to make sure I didnt steal anything before giving me another room.
Bathrooms are tiny with no racks for towels ( they cover the tiny counters ) and the rooms are small and cramped. They had the air conditioner turned off when I arrived?
Their selection in the little market is non existent.
After telling her I ubered she asked for my car info, then when I asked her about stores ( this was literally 30 seconds later ) she told me I could drive to a store in just a few minutes?
Overall not a good experience, won't stay here again!
