Great staff especially Ivan, the bellman! Rooms were clean& amenities provided daily. Hotel was quiet at night& beds were comfortable. Buffet was good but expensive. Would be nice to get a discount for hotel guests! Check in was a little slow, could’ve had more than 1 person at front desk. Overall, a great stay at a great hotel!

Overall stay met our expectations. Breakfast was very good I would recommend the green chilaquiles. The only issue we had was that our room was not cleaned until the evening on day 2 of our stay. We will be staying there again.
