Pros:

The location,amenities, ambience!

Cons:

One of the main things I did not like about my stay was the parking situation. The spaces are separated by cement center blocks, with only two spots between each, which made parking feel very tight and stressful. It creates a higher risk of accidentally scratching a personal or rental vehicle, which is the last thing you want to worry about while on vacation. While I understand some of my concern may come down to personal preference, the setup made the experience feel inconvenient and nerve-wracking
