They have serious maintenance issues. I had to change rooms cause the TV in the original room did not work. Two of three pieces aerobic exercise equipment were broken. Restaurant was of marginal quality, but a little high on price given the quality.

The room was very 1990’s which we loved. It was very clean and very comfortable. The only issue was the toilet didn’t flush very well. We told the front desk so they could fix it.
