"Clean rooms, the pool was extremely over crowded. Seems like they should have a guest limit enforced. Other than that it was a clean, very nice hotel. The restaurant was good. The buffet was delicious. Im happy with the stay."

"It was just too many extra things to pay for, like parking for minimum VIP parking at 62.50 a night, plus resort fees each night. There was a wedding with a DJ that happened to be next to our room, so it was hard to sleep for an early flight the next day,"
