Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a few drawbacks like rooms smelling too humid and moldy, some with dirty bathtubs and cracks. On the positive side, the service was mostly wonderful with friendly staff, though some night staff were a bit rude. The location was good for my purposes, but closing early was inconvenient. The dining experience varied, with some days being excellent and others disgraceful.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was convenient and the service was excellent, the room condition was unacceptable due to a strong paint thinner odor and mold issues. The dining options were disappointing, but the staff made the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel rooms were clean and everything as advertised, but unfortunately full of mould; the front desk service was great and helpful, with a good rate for dollar exchange; the location was nice but closed since 9pm; the dining was excellent, although the same every day; overall, good value for money.
I was on the 5th floor of the south building. The room was dirty with a bad smell and dirty sheets, but it had a 32' LCD with cable TV, cool air conditioning, and Wi-Fi access. The pool area was great.
