great stay with thoughtful touches
helpful staffsunset viewinadequate lighting
i was very happy with the staff at this hotel. teresa brought up extra blankets and pillows, then she returned with milk for my toddler! so many staff members seemed eager to help. the room was nice, and i enjoyed the sunset view each night.
i found the room lighting to be inadequate. even with all the lights on, the room remained dark. i wish there were more lighting options available.

The hotel has a pool, also a fitness center. The room was spacious. I noticed flexible space available for work if needed. That was helpful.
I found the air conditioning vent in the bedroom to be a bit noisy.
