Great location, needs renovation

Pros: great location, friendly staff, coffee shop downstairs. Cons: hotel is dated, toilet took 5 minutes to fill up. Lobby deodorizer was overwhelming. Didn’t appreciate the extra tax and daily resort fee specially in the winter when it’s too cold to be in the outdoor pool. Only one elevator was working. No outlet by bedside table. Had to go out and buy a 5 ft extension cord.
