Pros:

The view, the location, the room was nice and clean. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

Upon checking in, Management left a desk clerk by herself that was only on her 2nd week. She ran into a situation with a "difficult" guest getting 4 rooms. She was overwhelmed by the situation and was visibly upset. She had NO ONE to help her. I waited in the lobby for over an hour, with the A/C not working, to get checked in. That clerk quit that day. I don't blame her, I blame management for leaving her by herself, and I tried to console with her to just relax, but that guest was very patronizing. I confronted him also about the situation and he chilled for the most part. Management totally mishandled that in my opinion. I was disappointed that the breakfast was changed from all you can eat buffet to a simple choice menu. The food was good, just would rather have a buffet variety of choices like it used to be. Other than that and the A/C in the lobby not being fixed ALL week, everything else was great.
