We did not enjoy being woke up at least three times by the front desk throughout the night due to noise complaints that were NOT coming from our room. That definitely made for a terrible experience. The gentleman apologized at the midnight visit. Doesn't give us or our kids their sleep back. Also everything was very expensive, bag of Chez its (small snack size) was $7 - seems like a lot.
