Disliked: Check-in, communication
The overall property was excellent. The condo was excellent. There was construction going on during our stay which limited the use of the elevator because construction teams were also using it. I find this very weird because I am a project manager, and we would never allow our team to use the primary elevators that guest use. They also had the stairwells blocked off so you could not use these.
