The breakfast was great and beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a bad smell. There was a conference during our stay which made it difficult to navigate through the lobby area as there were so many people just standing around and not moving.

Once we opened the door into the room we first smelled an unpleasing rotten smell and we noticed the bed also had the scent and could not sleep well. We also noticed ants roaming around the ac. The tv glitches alot and we could not watch anything. In general the room was quite dirty and I do not recommend.

When we arrived, the assigned room was horrible. We called the front desk, and they didn't hesitate to put us in another room. It was great! The staff, location, breakfast options, and shuttle were all fabulous!

Could do better.

The room was very noisy from never. It was like the walls were very thin, and we could hear the people talking and tv. Also the shuttle service was not good as we waited a very long time. The clerk, who was very polite, needed help the night before a cruise. He did his best.

The only thing I didn’t like about the property (other than the elevator breaking down which happens- I get it) was the convention that was there. Not at the fault of the staff but the attendees were all over the place standing in groups, making it hard to walk through, especially with bags. I would have liked the staff picking up in that and asking them to leave room and such. Would stay again
