Reviews and Ratings
I had everything I needed in the room - it was clean, had a comfortable bed, nice shower, and a good working area with a nice roller chair. The service surprised me when I arrived; they are so understanding and meet guests' needs. The location was perfect for my special event training, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The dining experience was a bit simple and not satisfactory for a long stay. The facilities were adequate for the price I paid.
The hotel has very big, clean, and well-structured rooms that are quite big and comfortable, but not as clean as expected. The plumbing problem with water from the sink flowing into the bathroom floor was a downside. The service was a mix of rudeness and surprise friendliness. The location was brilliant, very close to the beach and key city spots. The dining experience had some positive and negative aspects. The facilities were generally adequate.
