Yeah, I was reading about the noise and service...but seems like an area we'd really like and I'd like to use points if the value is there - I would probably just pay cash for the Sheraton
Ok. That explains your interest in the property. Most tourists are drawn to that area. And actually, I think probably 99% of tourist stay there or in Roma Norte. I'm always the opposite, as I try to avoid areas with tourist if there's an alternative area. Good luck with wherever you decide to stay.
