Lovely hotel - Worth staying

Checked in early (0700hrs) to make the most of the free express passes. Parking is $36 per night and you are allowed to park up to 23:59hrs of check out date. Check in was smooth. We came back from the park and the room was not available at 1700hrs (1hr after we should have room) The staff are great, room clean and beds comfortable. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the delay in check in.

Hotel was amazing! Club level benefits unfortunately were a miss for us. Food selection for breakfast were the same everyday-with scrambled eggs and cold lunch meat ham slices being the only "protein" offered. Evening options were just as unappealing. Dessert was very boring as well. More protein packed options would have been awesome ex: Nuts, granola bars, etc. Definitely did not feel we got our money's worth with per day with Club Level. Other than that, everything was good.

Noisy neighbours

Noisy guests in next bedroom. Issued raised on 3 occasions with front desk - took over 1.5hrs for someone to speak to guests in next bedroom and even then issue not satisfactorily resolved. Very disappointing experience considering the price of the hotel for a one night stay.
