There are many charges to watch for when staying at the hotel - if you want anything beyond your standard room, chances are it will cost money. Valet service is available for your car, Internet access is purchased in rooms and there is an additional fee to use the cabanas near the pool.

Many of the standard hotel rooms are a bit smaller and come with smaller bathrooms - if you are traveling with a group, you might want to look for an upgraded floorplan or splurge and get the suite.

While the lobby and public areas are well maintained and renovated, some of the rooms and suites look a little more worn.
