I overall liked staying here, my big complaint was in ability of being able to contact the property. Multiple phone calls and a email that was never responded to. It was very frustrating. I also was told if they were to receive a delivery for me there would be a charge.

The room was clean and nicely appointed however, as soon as you get off the elevator on the 24th floor you are greeted with an overwhelming smell of mold and mildew. There are no ceiling fans or exhaust fans in the bathrooms to keep the moisture down. The AC in the room works great but does not keep the humidity under control.

The beds weren’t really comfortable. The mattress felt very “springy”. The pull out bed was horrible to sleep on. It felt flat and worn out. The look of the room seemed a bit outdated. The color scheme was not appealing. Although the room wasn’t as comfortable as I would have liked on vacation the staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating!!!

Natali worked the bar. She is a special person. I can't explain it. She was so sweet and kind. Special is all I can think of. The world could use more Natalis.
