Great check-in experience, staff very friendly and knowledgeable. While this hotel is an older property the only place it was noticeable was the bathtub in our room. Other than that it is a beautiful place to stay and very comfortable. Great social hour in the evenings and breakfast buffett in the mornings, both complimentary with your stay. Due to the decor of the hotel common area you actually feel like you are at a tropical resort.

Hotel and rooms are fine. Obviously older property and a little shabby. Beds are a bit hard and rooms are drab and dark. Particular irritation was the noise in the main area of the hotel, the center of the hotel. Constant music playing even at 4 am, rather loudly. Breakfast was nice, lots of options and plentiful.

My room had dirty carpet, and hair on the floor (not mine) Also there was an old coffee pod in the maker when I went to use it Sunday morning. The food I got from the lounge was good though.
