So overall we enjoyed our stay. But the hotel has a few short comings.
The rooms are very dated. The bathrooms need to be updated and there is no room to put toiletries or other personal items.
There is a lot of noise from the streets and the

Loved my stay
Very friendly staff. Incredible location. The pillows were super comfy. We stayed in one of the suites with the king bed. The sofa bed was not super comfy. AC worked great. The room itself was spacious. We did the parking on-site which was $55/day but worth it since parking in that area is difficult to find and our car was safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Pre wedding scouting trip
The hotel just reopened in June, they are still working out the kinks. The coded door looks are glitching and this is a little time consuming. Every time I went in my room I had to put the code in at least three times. The code was the same for the pool access, but it worked fine. Towels were an issue at the pool. They didn’t have as many as they needed, and some needed a good bleaching. These are small things, and didn’t impact our trip. We would definitely stay here again!

Precio calidad, no vale. El cuarto es muy pequeño.
La cama fue comida, buena ubicación. pero por precio calidad muy deficiente. Nos mandaron hasta el último cuarto, los pasillos no son bonitos, el cuarto es muy pequeño. Imagino los cuartos que dan al mar serán mucho mejores.
El baño no tiene mucho lugar para poner las cosas
