It offers great convenience.

Fantastic staff, the place was so fun. Great hospitality and within walking distance to interesting shops and restaurants.

Pros: This was a really beautiful property. I fell in love w/ the layout and the cleanliness of the hotel rm. Cons: Upon arrival there were additional unexpected fees by the front desk receptionist that I found incredibly suspicious. The neighborhood was sketchy and I did not think the price and the hidden fees were comparable to how crummy and isolated the surrounding neighborhood was. The guests were also really sketchy. Every day while coming & going I regularly overheard heated arguments from guests who were displeased with additional check out fees, door cards become non-operational for no fault of their own and parking concerns. I hate to say this but there seem to be a lot of scrupulous activity happening on these premises such as prostitution. I will not repeat the conversations I overheard in the lobby but I would not bring anyone I love here with concern to their safety. There were some wholesome family and couples just enjoying their stay but there were also many sketchy characters. I'm thankful I had no issues during my stay but I would never return. Finally, if you are business person who travels frequently and may benefit from check in flexibility, understand that there may be no early check in available. I flew in from NYC and with the additional 5 hr time difference was unable to secure a room for over 4 hours. It was torture. They had no real lobby, just one couch and one chair. They asked me to wait 4 hours outside by their pool area in 90 degree weather.

Everything was great, but the front desk staff were a bit slow.
