Our stay was ok. They are doing construction near or at the hotel that started very early and woke us up around 6am. The area is a little sketchy with not many place to eat if you don’t have a car. We walked to Whole Foods (10 minute walk) to get drinks and snacks after our long travel day. The “suite” we booked worked for what we needed but was a very outdated room. My son liked the pool but it was on the smaller side. The complimentary breakfast was bagels, croissants, sugary yoghurt, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, bananas and sugary instant oatmeal. Typical, but I always hope for more healthy options or less sugar! I don’t think we would stay here again.
