Never will stay there again.
Pros:

Outside of the bldg

Cons:

Parking garage is a nightmare, virtually forced to valet park. Air conditioner alternated between sounding like an old jalopy with parts banging underneath to a high pitch screaming sound that sounded like someone was being slowly murdered.

It was a nice stay.
Pros:

The architecture of the building was nice. I liked that you had to have a key to access your floor. The staff were nice and accomodating. Easy check in and check out process. The views from the balcony were AMAZING.

Cons:

Plumbing issues. The sink often clogged and the handles in and around the tub were leaking water. I contacted the front office who were nice and reported it be fixed; however, they just unclogged the sink and left the residue and didn't clean it and it reverted to clogging again. The amenity area by the pool was a complete MESS. Trash and debris everywhere and a man was sleeping inside.
