Was pleasant, but filter coffee in the room was as least I would expect
Pros:

Central to list places I needed to be

Cons:

Smoking in a public area. Even though it was outside, we could not enjoy the sunsets outdoors due to excessive smoking. There should at least be a space for non smokers. We had a guy smoking a huge cigar which was awful

Just ok nothing special
Pros:

The location was good, the lady on check in was friendly, the breakfast was nice

Cons:

The property is over used. Carpets, couches, elevators are dirty . Lady on check out not very friendly . Swimming pool area very small and cramped next to smoking area so all the smoke is coming to you while you sitting and trying to relax or eat.
