Location is great and the staff are friendly and very personable. This is truly a benefit as the hotel has undergone several ownership transitions since I started visiting about a decade ago. Facilities are undergoing renovation a floor at a time, so some rooms are better than others. However the restaurant is great, with seasonal menu changes, and the location adjacent to the lagoon has wildlife and nice walkability.

The property is beautiful. The lobby is gorgeous. They’re in an industrial area so there are huge companies everywhere. The room is average. The bed that I had must be 20 years old. It was sunk in the middle hard as a rock creed with springs.

I recently stayed at this property and was extremely disappointed to discover unexpected charges that were never mentioned during the reservation process through expedia. Like $30.00 per day for the parking!! and the other fees that were not mentioned. I made my booking in good faith based on the information provided, only to find additional fees added at check-in/checkout that were neither disclosed nor justified. Transparency is a basic expectation when booking any accommodation. There was no mention of these fees in the confirmation email, the reservation platform, or the front desk until I was already locked into the stay. This feels misleading and unprofessional. Guests should be informed of all costs upfront — not surprised with added charges after the fact. Until this issue is addressed and pricing is made more transparent, I cannot recommend this property and will be taking my business elsewhere in the future.
