Travelled with family
Liked: Amenities
Professional and friendly staff. No parking and they charge a lot for valet parking (not advertised). The other guests had extremely loud music playing into early morning hours with no hotel staff intervening. And the "pool" is about 12 inches deep and is not kid/user friendly for any sort of swimming (also sort of misrepresented). Lastly, the hotel rooms smelled of smoke as did the elevators, which was less than desirable.
