Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
When I went to check in the front desk kept saying my room number out load. I had to go to the front desk three times because they were upgrading there door looks and she kept putting me in a room that was not completed with the new door locks and would not open. They finally gave me a room by the pool. However the ac was broken and it was so hot all night. The next day they put a new ac in my room. The maintenance man and the maids were so nice and helpful. Would not stay there again.
