We stayed one night and the location was fantastic. It was close to everything we wanted to accomplish. I love how clean it was and how clean it smelled throughout. We didn’t find it as noisy as others reported. There was a constant buzzing from the air units outside our room, but ear plugs did the trick. If I had to knit pick it would be that they advertise a heated pool and it wasn’t very warm. Also, I asked if the fire place by the pool could be turned on, but nobody ever came. Overall, we loved our stay and will return. We hope that maybe some spicy peppers or salsa can be added to the buffet! Tabasco is not spicy enough. :)

It's a touristy spot, so that comes with certain downsides. However, on top of that, I've experienced a number of issues: - they charged us a sizable extra occupancy fee for a 5 year old; the kid wasn't in the booking, but the check-in person was very adamant about him being added. This is, in part, reasonable, since they have "free breakfast", except... - the free breakfast line was insanely long, enough so that I refused to wait in it, and they were very strict about how many people were in the reservation, which the check-in person hasn't actually updated for me, so while they charged the extra for the kid, one of us technically still didn't have free breakfast; you also had to have everybody in the reservation check in for the breakfast at the same time, otherwise only the first batch could get in. This is all likely in a legal gray area (they are charging for a service they know to not have adequate facilities for). - a manager at check-out ended up waiving the extra charge after I pointed out the issues, but not without some nonsense ("all hotels charge occupancy per person" - not true, many charge for the room with only fire-code limits) and various attempts at offending me ("you don't seem to understand that 3 people were allowed for breakfast" - no, their system was telling the breakfast people that only 2 people were allowed). - there is little soundproofing compared to other hotels in the same prince range. Anyway, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.
