free valet parking convenient shuttle tired room decor unhelpful waitress
the free valet parking was helpful. the shuttle to the city center was also very convenient. our room had a balcony. it offered a distant view of the pool.
the room decor looked tired. i also noticed i wasn't given a map showing local sites. one waitress wasn't helpful at all. she seemed uninterested in assisting with vegetarian options.
