Expedia services were quick and reliable. Hotel staff was friendly and knowledgeable, however seemed very short staffed. The only true complaint I have is the lack of resources in the room. Bed pillows were small and didn't even cover the length of the bed, do not disturb signs, hand soap, extra towels and an ice bucket were all items we had to request and wait for. Also, very few things in the kitchen, I would suggest bringing own cooking / plastic ware.

Even though 2 rooms were booked together, we ended up on separate floors because the last name on the 2nd room was different. This wasn't presented ahead of time and couldn't be switched. The sink backed up in one room (though they were quick to fix). The refill water thing didn't work. The breakfast food ran out of food as did the cups. The pool was fantastic though! If you are planning to use that - totally worth it.
