Confusing layout on the pier, front desk upon check in should have explained the layout better. Did not appreciate the forced $29 daily fee for the ferris wheel tickets, $10 restaurant credit and water. It really should be optional. Without it, I would have eaten at the hotel abd drank the crap bottle water. Really bad pillows and cannot close the curtains. Not in my friend's room either.
