Entrance is confusing because the property is merged w Indigo hotel. This was not a great welcome, especially since my uber driver was also confused. Pool was cool and clean--perfect. Room was large and clean. When i thought the hairdryer was missing (hung up in a closet--shouldn't it be in the bathroom?) someone brought another one right away. Staff in general were helpful and friendly.

This was an aging hotel that needs some refurbishment doing very soon. The room wasn’t very nice and the AC was very noisy. The location was good and there were plenty of bars and restaurants near by. We went here as we were following England at the World Cup.
