Loved the 7 foot pool, although more could be done to make the room look nicer, example; seaside mural on the walls, maybe with a lighthouse, shutters for the "window frame" and a mural for the 'inside' of it, perhaps looking into a fancy ball room, more artificial greenery. Floors (grout) could be cleaned more often.

We were on the bay side of the 9th floor. The view was worth the price.

Vicki United States of America

The staff was very kind and friendly. The hotel itself and the room was very clean. There were multiple lighting options such as lamps and lamps over each bed. The bay view was beautiful.
