Overall we had a great stay, there were just a few housekeeping and cleaning issues that made me question the price of t
Pros:

Loved the views. We do wish the windows were clean so that we could see better. The location was fantastic. Everyone that we interacted with was very nice.

Cons:

I would say the only things that could have been better were the housekeeping of the room on our second day. The toilet paper and tissues were not refilled and the floor wasn’t swept. We didn’t have a full replenishment of towels. The only thing that was replaced was the coffee, which wasn’t even provided when we first entered the room. The only thing available was decaf and not caffeinated. Finally, we also would have really loved our corner room if the windows were clean on the outside. We paid more for this room to be able to enjoy the view but the fact that it was dirty made it difficult to fully enjoy the view.

It was a very nice place, spacious but no air conditioner
Pros:

I loved the indoor area, I think the space could be utilized a bit better. More options if restaurants and the air conditioning was not on so it made the building very hot.

Cons:

It was 80/90 degrees and it was never any air on. I also felt like I was going to faint when I went to workout.

I would not recommend this place.
Pros:

The room was nice but it was dusty and the shower was leaking all over the floor.

Cons:

Both pool restrooms were nasty. The toilets were clogged. The pool was cold and there were no towels. This hotel was not worth the price point. The only thing good about the hotel is the location.

Crap
Pros:

The beds were nice staff were great

Cons:

The front and back door were broken and I had to walk completely around the building with all my luggage! Also the reason I booked was because of the hot tub (injured back) but everything was closed!

Beautiful view and the room was lovely with the exception of the stained bed sheet, the shower doors kept sliding open a
Pros:

Location and view
The room was spacious.

Cons:

The bed sheets were stained on one of the double beds very noticeably. Not impressed. How a cleaner did not notice this is beyond me!
The shower doors kept sliding open leaving the floor soaked when showering.
The towels were not plentiful
The shampoo and shower gel dispensers were empty.
