Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Great location, great hotel, great service. The AC leaked (twice) and flooded the unit so they switched me to another suite. They were very good about it. Just a major hassle to move. Otherwise, all else was fantastic.
The staff where very nice and helpful with any questions we had. Just the rooms need to have handsoap in the bathrooms as there was none and had to buy or own. The handle in the sink needs to be longer as when you wash your hands it touches the basin. Shower pressure was really good. Other wise a good stay. Would recommend to all.
