liked the view, new building, water park Didn't like that the wifi reception was so weak on fourth floor of blue building, i could not connect my computer on a 3 day two night stay. (Room 415) That's unacceptable. Please fix it. Also didn't like only one open electrical outlet on each side of the bed if you want to have the lamp light plugged in. I have a c pap machine to help me breathe, and want to recharge my phone at night by my bedside. Would normally want a third outlet to recharge my computer at bedside as well, but it didn't matter cause the wifi sucked. Can't believe you built a new modern building in this era with inadequate electrical plug-ins. Whose idea was that?

Restaurant connected was great and easy to access. The check in time was right when the water park closed and i thought that was ridiculous for it being 5pm.... Room smelled strange and bed and shower were not impressive whatsoever. Not the getaway i had in mind.

Need added amenities

Not impressed that the hotel is not connected- had to walk in the rain to the fitness room, then back in the rain. No complimentary breakfast offered & the coffee bar had no amenities for a cup of coffee. No microwave or hooks for any of the towels in the rooms.
