The only thing I think the hotel could improve on is having firmer pillows. Otherwise everything was great, the atmosphere, and all the dining options. The gym was clean and well maintained. The rooms were clean. It’s a place that encourages guests to relax and have fun. Also really disappointed I didn’t try the food there until my last day. They are amazing! The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating
