Location to "the island" was fantastic-after a day of traveling it was nice to walk across the street for entertainment/dinner. The beds were were extremely comfortable. The interaction with staff was great. The room was clean and comfortable-but, clearly lacked a deep clean. The pool area is super cute and spacious

Room was clean, great amenities and check in was fast. The beds are quite firm, which some prefer but not our favorite. Would also love to see larger pillows rather than the smaller style many hotels are switching to more recently.
