Not interesting is fixing issues

The hotel was nice and we expected more but sadly it was ruined by the toilet, the toilet kept refilling and it drove us mad. Reported it at 4pm and was told that it would get fixed, came back at 9.30 and reported it again. Had to chase up after 10pm because son just wanted to sleep. They couldnt do much due to time (if they came up and fixed it earlier wouldnt be an issue) told us they would fix it the next day - problem is we was only staying 1 night. I honestly thought staying at a top hotel we wouldnt have issues and no sleep

Lovely hotel - Worth staying

Checked in early (0700hrs) to make the most of the free express passes. Parking is $36 per night and you are allowed to park up to 23:59hrs of check out date. Check in was smooth. We came back from the park and the room was not available at 1700hrs (1hr after we should have room) The staff are great, room clean and beds comfortable. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the delay in check in.

Hotel was amazing! Club level benefits unfortunately were a miss for us. Food selection for breakfast were the same everyday-with scrambled eggs and cold lunch meat ham slices being the only "protein" offered. Evening options were just as unappealing. Dessert was very boring as well. More protein packed options would have been awesome ex: Nuts, granola bars, etc. Definitely did not feel we got our money's worth with per day with Club Level. Other than that, everything was good.
