My experience was this place was perfect. It was quiet, convenient (for me, as someone who thought the walk to El Centro was the PERFECT exercise), clean, and even a bit like a resort in that I didn't have to leave the property each day if I didn't want to. The club on the 51st floor fun. I would totally go back.

I stayed here for a weekend. We enjoyed our stay. It was clean, safe and the beach was right across the street. There was an issue with the drain in the shower. The hotel staff came to fix it. However, it took a long time so they put us in another room. Overall, it was a nice stay and I would come back again.

Had a nice view for the room. Infinity pool was nice. The elevators are a bit confusing, but once you get the hang of it, its ok.

Otherwise, room was cleaned each day and they have complimentary waters in the rooms which is nice when you first arrive.
