Definitely a fine hotel. On this stay I did not like 2 things. I requested sea view and got a view of the back parking lot Also the Ambasador check in took one hour or so. I arrived at the hotel at 1 but was not allowed to check in. Then when I was finally allowed to check in it took forever. finally got to my room at around 5 pm. They should assign more people to do check in from 3-5 Since I did not feg
