Disappointed

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Was very disappointed with the air conditioning in the facility, had my 4 month old with us and we rented in the hotel because of this mainly. The electric stoves did not work very well took me 2 hrs for water to start sizzling. The room that was originally given to us had a plumbing issue and once we moved over to another room there were no blankets or towels provided for us. Overall the hotel lacks in the essentials it says it carrier and it is extremely over priced for what is offered.

The staff were excellent very friendly and helpful. I would recommend being moderately proficient in Spanish since the staff isn't proficient in English, I'm a novice in Spanish and managed with some sign language and pointing but would have been much easier had i known Spanish.
