Good Location, our room was a little small for three adults - we had room 201 corner unit with two queen beds. Breakfast was abysmal. On the first day, the restaurant had no cups, plates, hot coffee, juice or utensils. Had to go to an outside restaurant for breakfast. Informed the front desk and I received a slip for breakfast at the sister hotel, President. No compensation was offered. Breakfast was a little better but the food was cold. The resort fee for three people of $49/day is very high and not worth it. Do your homework and look at other options

Location decent; hotel quality poor
The room did not have a working tv remote, working internet for the tv, or a desk as advertised. Check-in was at 3:00 but the room was not available until 3:30. The breakfast was supposed to last until 10:30. At 9:30, there was very little food remaining.
