The stay was great as was the staff. Alonzo really took good care of us and assisted with anything we needed, he was amazing. Would definitely stay again.
For the price I paid, I expected something nicer. Especially as the selling point is the amazing views from the rooms. I had a view of the roof of the pool. The room had no kleenex, remote/tv didn't work properly, the breakfast was overpriced and the overall property felt like an average Holiday Inn rather than something special which is what I expected.
