Dirty room, black carpeting, secret parking charge adding $45 to our booking
Pros:

The breakfast was powdered eggs and only fair quality. The reviews made it sound like it would be special, but only on one day did they have biscuits and watery runny gravy, the other mornings it was just powdered scrambled eggs and pretty decent fried potatoes.

Cons:

A better coffee machine with some choices, real eggs instead of powdered ones, and more selection of hot items.

MUY BUENA ESTANCIA.
Pros:

EL HOTEL ES MUY COMODO Y ESTA MUY BIEN UBICADO. EL DESAYUNO ES VARIADO Y LA CALIDAD DE SU CAFE ES FANTASTICA.

Cons:

LOS ELEVADORES SON LENTOS Y RUIDOSOS. EL SERVICIO DE LIMPIEZA A LAS HABITACIONES NO LO HACEN DIARIO A PESAR DE SOLICITARLO.

Cons:

The smell how dirty the room was.

It was a nice stay but the place needs a little care and tending to.
Pros:

Staff was friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was comfy. Close to attractions. Room had everything we needed.

Cons:

Could have been cleaner. Appliances didnt work and had to be replaced. Pictures on wall are crooked. Headboards have hand prints and smears from previous people. Curtain missing.
