1. The downside is continuous noise 24/7.

"Fabulous location but very noisy " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/29/2009 Vote

2. The downside to the pool is that it is on the roof of the middle of four buildings and if you aren't staying in that particular building, you have to trek along the sidewalk (usually through the restaurant) and into the lobby to take the elevator to the 6th floor.

"Hit or Miss with rooms, but overall - I would go back. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/9/2009 Vote

3. downsides of the room: dirty carpet as well as furniture.

"Will stay here again " Read full review on Expedia 3/3/2009 Vote

4. The only downside to the room was the window blinds which were very thin so I got blinded by the sun every morning at 7 am.

"Great rooms, not much else " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/28/2007 Vote

5. The only downside of our stay was that we booked a room for three people and believed we had booked a double room, when in fact all rooms have a double bed and a roll-away bed.

"Loved it! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/21/2007 Vote

6. The only downside is that the hotel has no bar, sitting area or meeting area, so you either stay on the rooftop pool or in your room.
