The staff did their jobs but both females at the front desk has this pouty, snotty look/attitude. They performed their functions but with a holier than thou attitude....not ideal. Rooms were outstanding (I text a few things that could be better the first day to Lloyd) EXCEPT for the shampoo in the shower IT IS AWFUL and makes your hair feel like straw. For the price a simple upgrade there would have given all 5 stars except for front desk.

Maintenance

We arrived 30 minutes early to check in, guest services had us wait so the front desk could get a hold of housekeeping to see if a room was available. Then when we get to the room, we realize the toilet does not flush. It took 2 calls to the front desk for maintenance to arrive 1 hour later. My son and husband needed to ise the restroom and couldnt. We left for dinner and when we came back the toilet still wouldn't flush. We had to move rooms because of the toilet. Im grateful we were able to switched rooms but it was an inconvenience because all we wanted to do was relax after a long day. The maintenance should be better on the rooms and the staff should be more attentive.

Overall cleanliness of the hotel and plenty of restaurants nearby. The only thing I was disappointed in was I've originally booked a room with a king bed but we were given a room with 2 queen beds. Which meant my husband and I slept separately so we can be more comfortable as my husband is larger built. Front desk said the king bedrooms had plumbing issues but who knows.
