Location is great if you're going to LGBT clubs, which are less than a block away. But it means you hear club music thumping from rooms on that side of the hotel, and dumpsters being emptied in the morning. Pool area is not large, especially if you want to be in the shade. There are 4 or 5 lounges in the shade. The other lounges are all in direct sunlight with no umbrellas (there are umbrellas over the tables and chairs but none around any lounges). So wear lots of sunscreen and prepare to bake. In a standard room the bathroom sink vanity is very small, even for 1 guest. Soap and lotion are in dispensers glued to the wall. No microwave in room, no complimentary bottled water -- which are provided at less expensive neighboring hotels. Fitness room is only large enough for 1 person at a time. Overall, I would not stay here again and would look at the other area hotels.
