En el front desk falta un poco más de amabilidad y conocimiento sobre las reservas, porqué la señora primero me dijo que por online todas las reservaciones estaban canceladas y yo ya había pagado mi reservación pero claro al momento ya de irnos con mi familia ella salió y me dijo que encontró la reserva esa pasadera de tiempo no me gustó ya que estoy viajando con mi hija con necesidades especiales

An overall quality experience

Staff let us check in early since we got before our ETA and also let us check out late. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean hotel, some nice facilities like a pool, hot tub, steam room, really nice workout room and a beautiful view of the city.

Liked: Cleanliness
There was a loud event that went on all night super loud. We complained and asked for a different room they showed us one that was worse. The hotel was not full and they could have given us a room in the back away from the noise, instead of showing us a worse one.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Overall, I liked the property. There was just one thing that almost soured the experience, I was charged for the room when I checked in, and they pretended to charge me for the room again when I checked out. Since the bill wasn't that high, I could not have noticed it, but I did and produced a credit card stub to demonstrate I had already paid. That was enough, but it was an inconvenience nonetheless.
