Good hotel with a few minor shortcomings

Very friendly staff, comfortable and modern rooms; older and relatively noisy AC. Limited healthy breakfast options, e.g. no skim milk or low/no fat joghurt.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I like the location of this property. I didn't like several things: Carpets and sofas were getting worn out. Temperature of hallways and lobby was hot and uncomfortable. Apples and oranges were not fresh in the dining room. I went to pool and found out that there were buoyant matters like leaves so forth which made me feel that it was not being maintained. I visited gym and discovered that the running machine wasn't functional. I was charged $150/night and I do not think that I received what I paid for.
