The staff by far is the most polite and had the willingness to assist us. It was very beauty and the fire pit/s'mores was a topper. I had an amazing experience. With that said, I’m offended I was charged $75 for overnight valet when I had no clue there was a cost associated with valet. They should be ashame for charging that amount. Plus $60 for resort fee. Other than that if you want to experience a high end luxury hotel, I recommend it. At least for a night.
