It is exactly what you would expect. The rooms are a good size, the amenities a little outdated. It is in a nice part of town but you will have to drive to get to where you want to go. The free parking and included breakfasts are nice pluses - only negative was that you could hear the highway from the room (not the case in all rooms though).

Nice hotel. Easy access to everything. I have stayed here a few times. A little noisy in certain rooms, make sure to ask for a room facing the pool or Avenida street. Breakfast from 6-9 am. Fitness center is good, pool is clean. I will stay here again.
