Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and somewhat comfortable, though the decor was a bit odd and may need an update soon. The view from my room was disappointing, facing only the roof with generators and AC units. The lack of modern amenities like USB plugs was inconvenient, and the curtains didn't close fully, letting in too much sunlight early in the morning. Breakfast service required requesting items instead of self-service, leading to a sour milk incident causing us to dine out. The washer left detergent clumps on my clothes, making laundry a hassle. Overall, it felt like everything that could go wrong did during my stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was fine overall, but the lights in the bedroom were a hassle as the switch didn't work, and there were unwelcome cockroaches. The view from the room was disappointing, facing just the roof with generators and AC units. The hotel lacked modern amenities like USB plugs, and the breakfast service was inconvenient. On the positive side, the staff was helpful during a hurricane situation. However, the dining options were lacking, and the washer left detergent clumps on my clothes, making laundry a chore.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, providing a comfortable space to relax. The service was top-notch, with friendly and professional staff always ready to assist. The location was convenient, surrounded by plenty of dining options. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with some dishes not meeting expectations.
