Very good location. Room was clean. Breakfast was fine. But shower needs more pressure. It will take you longer to finish because the water has low pressure.

I did not like that the area from the front desk to the elevator was dismal - looked like a back door entrance for staff. I did not like that the lounge chairs around the pool were all broken - seats blown out. I did like the renovated bathrooms. Breakfast was fair - dining room was dreary.
