8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
The room was fine for the most part for an older property. Air conditioning was really loud but made for good white noise sleeping. Beds were comfortable. Front staff was kind and engaging. The property itself was not clean or well kept. There was a vacuum cleaner sitting outside in the breezeway by the elevator the entire time we stayed there. Never moved. The flooring in the elevator was really bad. There was pee in the elevator that assume was from a pet and it was still there spread around when we left the next day, mid morning. When we came in for the evening all the dirty linens were piled and left by housekeeping on the sidewalk outside what I assume was the laundry room for the night. Just not what was anticipated by what was advertised.

Hotel is new and gorgeous. The room was great , very clean , the beds were comfortable and the couch was perfect for another bed . The pool area is beautiful, with an amazing view and you could use it late into the evening. The only downside was that the pool bar and some amenities weren’t available during the week and then one day they had no food or bar service at all :( overall a great stay
