"The bed was comfortable. The showers were great. The property is getting a bit dated but still has the feel of a nice hotel. While we were there the elevators did not work and AC failed in our first room. However the front desk quickly gave us a new room with good AC. We stayed for 3 days, just in for family wedding. It worked for us. Would stay again."
