The front desk agent, Lester, was very efficient and extremely helpful with information about the area and tourist attractions. The breakfast consisted of cereal, muffins, yogurt, eggs, breakfast sausages, bread, and tater tots. The coffee (and black tea) station, together with orange/apple juice was accessible 24/7.

Jacuzzi tub broken, but water didn't get really hot anyway, pool closed being used for storage, bed was uncomfortable, and exterior doors loud, all night long all you could hear even with the TV on was the door slamming. Staff was really friendly. Room was clean.

Unexpectedly in rooms began to shake. The bed, the walls, the floor, the air conditioning unit. When we got the front desk staff. The shaking had stopped. Very odd. It lasted 3-5 minutes
