The room was the worst I have ever received. They didn't accommodate that we had two rooms and did not put them next to each other and the hotel wasn't even half full that first night. They cancelled our cards on the second day and had to get all new cards programmed. The first day the ice machine didn't work on my floor and tried to other floors until I found one that worked, etc.

We were put in a room right next to first floor elevators the first night. It was terribly loud. Although they moved us the second night, it was a room with 2 queens instead of 1 king. E were also assure me that our $40 shuttle to our cruise ship would get there in plenty of time. Our boarding time is in one minute and the shuttle still has not arrived at our hotel. Very disappointed.

Our stay was pleasant but our reservation was initially for conjoined rooms but upon arrival we were told the rooms were not available. After further investigation, the rooms were available but after an additional $50 charge. We found this disappointing and unfortunate but paid since we had little kids that necessiated the rooms.

Our balcony looked out to the roof of the hotel main entrance including many air conditioning units and various industrial equipment. There are additional resort and parking fees automatically charged whether or not you park a vehicle. You have to follow up to be sure the parking isn’t charged with the front desk staff who obviously deal with this issue a lot and have limited patience for the questions. The walls are thin and the comings and goings of others are loud.
