Clean, tidy, and wonderful view of the plaza. Our room came with a balcony which is rare to see these days, especially when the room isn't a suite. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the lobby restaurant was great. Only complaint is the elevators, which were having some problems when we stayed causing two of three to go down, leaving only one operational. It wasn't a big deal for us, but it was an inconvenience for some people we met.

We arrived on time for our check in. Our room wasn’t ready. Usually wouldn’t care if we had to wait for a bit. But we had reservations for dinner at 6p. We had to wait for over an hour in the lobby. We weren’t notified if our room was ready even tho they said we will call you when ready. We approached the front desk multiple of times to just to be safe if ready. After an hour. We checked in again and it was ready. No apologies from the front desk or a courtesy of some type of comp for our troubles. I understand this type of situation can occur. But better communication would have been nice and some type of comp for us waiting in the lobby for more than an hour. Over all. The rooms were clean, beds comfy, the view from the balcony was nice, breakfast was good in the lobby. A buffet. Yes. We will come back another time. We have stayed here multiple times throughout the years. This is my first review with the hotel.

The hotel itself was beautiful, and the location was great, but they did not have a fitted sheet on the bed so when I laid down in bed, I noticed I was lying in a urine stain from a previous guest. In my mind, this is very unsanitary and it left me feeling very gross.

I don’t mind for small things like scratches or small specks of dirt on the wall. So I didn’t rate it as badly as other people. The lady who checked us in was kind of impatient but other than that the stay was fine. It was definitely beautiful and the walk to all the stores and restaurants was the best part. It was so convenient. The water pressure on the shower was amazing and we always got two bottles of water after they cleaned the room.
