The staff was awesome, the room was clean and comfortable. There was one tiny cockroach in the shower but because I’m no
Pros:

Its location was close to nice restaurants, the beach and the convention center.

Cons:

The TV could have used a few more cable stations or movie rentals. Regular TV channels and hallmark doesn’t cut it when you have to spend a lot of time in the room especially with young kids.

Pros:

Nice and clean

Cons:

We couldn’t get any sleep they had a band going until 2 am right under our balcony. I complained they had no other rooms available and everyone on our floor was complaining about the noise all night and was not given any credit or anything.
