Lobby
The lobby’s modern design, with its natural wood accents, provided a serene atmosphere. Gone were the dated green carpeting and plastic palm trees, replaced by a welcoming ambiance that set the tone for our stay.

Room Condition
The only negatives I found in the room were the grimy smudges on the back of the suite entrance doors.
Breakfast At Polanco Kitchen Restaurant
For breakfast, we indulged in a delightful buffet spread at Polanco, which was quite resonably priced considering the $15 per person Diamond Elite credit.
