my impressions of this hotel: check-in went smooth and the service was pleasant. they claim there are no more unrenovated rooms. they did accomodate my request to be up high with a nice view. room itself was nice looking & clean. the bed was very comfortable. the tv was a flat screen but no HD. the tv was also set in 'auto-expand' mode which turns normal tv into stretched tv, kind of annoying the bathroom had this terrible dual-head shower head. the top one showered you with a normal stream, and the bottom one was a rapid pulse stream aimed right at the... HUEVOS. do not like this feature. turned right off. the big disappointment was the 5th floor hot tub, which was lukewarm at best. even at 9pm, the pool was full of loud kids etc, so i just retreated back to the room and relaxed. the pen in the room was unbelievably flimsy and cheap. i was totally comfortable here, and the BB/priceline price was right, but i'd be pissed if i spent full $ on this. this hotel lives on the very edge of 3*. cheers!
