10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Aston Rubi City Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Only advice I would have is: (1) in order to park your vehicle, you first briefly park in the lot to the right just before you get to the front door of the hotel, go inside and get your room card and then use that card to access the underground parking garage that is located in an alley-type street that follows the front door to the hotel on the right; and (2) for those who are not used to the Caribbean style AC, you will need to use the white remote to turn on the AC units in the rooms. Fabulous hotel overall!"
