Solid Stay with Convenient Location

convenient locationeasy walkcentral shoppingcold air conditioning
the location was great for exploring the area. i booked a day trip and the marina was just across the street (really convenient!). the casino and esplanade were easy to reach by foot, i walked to the central shopping area in about ten minutes.
i noticed the air conditioning system lacked temperature control. it seemed permanently set to a very cold setting with limited adjustment, i had to turn it off at night.
