from the start the electric entry gate do not work all the time. then the room stunk of clorox like they had to clean up a dead body last night! Then the sand paper sheets and TV that dosn't have pay per view as it was raining outside so we get to watch CNN i guess? oh The restaurant have a menu that have less item than McDoanlds, way less to be honest. $36 for a grill chicken and few sticks of veggies for my wife and i order the chicken wing with mango honey and the waiter had to be asked to bring wet wipes to get the honey off my fingers..WHO TRAINED this person! Anyway that was a badly served $60 lunch on a rocky table. what value. Oh then we took a drive and came back after sunset and see there is no number on the building or maps or any kind of signage so we get to thumble around all these little buildings IN THE RAIN. So we were so disgusted that we wanted to check out a day early and they were doing the blame the other guy thing for a refund of one day....so poor quality room with chemical storm, horrible and badly served food and sand paper sheets. Impossible to find building and all that for $700 a night with tax...never again. the hotel next door was sold out which is where we always stayed, and we will always from now on.

Most things were very nice including staff. they advertise Starbucks on site. This would be the only quick & less expensive option for breakfast. However, the food was both limited in variety & quality. Not a Starbucks standard.
