A great spot

Very nice accommodations. Everything you need in a great location. Super clean and comfortable. The only negative - sales people in the lobby trying to hard-sell timeshare opportunities, tours, etc. Hard to avoid, since they put the desk directly outside of the elevator to catch you as you come and go. They did back off after a firm "No thank you."
