    We liked it a lot because it was close to the places we wanted to visit, and also the hotel was very nice! The only thing that wasn't good was the pool, it was very cold.

    We had a large unit with 2 bedrooms, but only used one. It was fully equipped for housekeeping for extended stays. It had an elevator, which is pretty much a requirement for multiple floors.
