"Great location, big room with big bathroom and big bed - very well suited for a week-long stay. Awesome view and the pool was great too. On the downside, the room had not been properly vacuumed when we first arrived and the water pressure in the shower was terrible and took a long time to adjust - we wasted a lot of water trying to get clean. The room service food was pretty good, and the sports bar next door was great. We would come back again."
