Awesome place but outside areas need updating

Lovely place, beautiful views, super friendly staff. It’s close to lots to see, eat and shop. The restaurant and tiki bar are awesome. Inside rooms are updated, fresh and clean. The building we were in, the outside was one, dirty and run down, wooden steps deteriorating and peeling paint. Weeds were growing through landscaping and there were cigarette butts around. The elevator was down so we had to carry everything to 3rd floor. If they would renovate the outside like they did the inside it would be great.

No me gustó

No me gustó porque aparecía que tenían piscina para que nuestros hijos podían bañar y tenían tres camas la foto y sólo lo dieron una habitación de dos camas y no tenía nada para que pudiera jugar mis hijos ni alberca lo único disponible fue el cuarto y nada más por eso no me gustó

Love all the upgrades of furniture flooring and bathroom, only complaint was sound of doors banging constantly due to what we assume was wind. Need a door wedge or something to keep doors from being so loose.
