Everything was great but our room was interesting. Our heater was broken, so the room was crazy hot and then we would lower it for the ac to run and then it would reset to heat. So we ended up leaving it but would have to slowly lower the ac and then be cold all night. I did t bother the front desk about it because we had plans to be out of the room and then I didn’t want to wait and deal or move rooms either.

Not worth the price!

Simply awefull! Overcharged by the hotel for **non existing additional resort guest fees - 40$ parking when its free on the road. Don't stay at this hotel as it's not worth 300$ per night
