There were really no food options available. One dining room was closed for construction (we had no notice), the other was only open for breakfast and lunch (we had nice breakfast), there was no deli as advertised. Starbucks was only open the early part of the day. We were limited to one option of getting food from the Turquoise Trail in the casino. The food was good but we had hoped for more options. My husband has some difficulties with eating so we were counting on being able to get food from the deli and come back to our room. All in all it was fine, we didn't go hungry. It just wasn't what was advertised.
