Cons -
- Bathroom shower could use a stronger flow and the ac unit was a bit noisy.
- Terrible stay. Old, uncomfortable pillows and a dirty room on arrival. I woke up with red spots and was told by a hospital they were insect bites from dirty bedding. No response from the hotel. Not recommended.

Right across the street from Dockside Universal Hotel that had buses running until 2am, great location if you are just going to the parks and sleeping there. If your not going to use the pool or anything else and just sleeping its perfect.
