We stayed for 3 nights. Our stay was comfortable. We would have liked having our room tidied up each morning without asking to have it done (i.e. bed made and more towels).

First and Last

The clerk that checked me in was helpful. He did fail to mention that the breakfast (after I shared with him my additional guest and that we would be eating breakfast), that I needed to get tickets. I learned of the this the next morning while attempting to dine. The night help showed up 10mins before the hour that the pool closed, and wanted me and my crew out so that he could service the area. Of course I advised him to speak with the clerk to confirm the time we were expected out. The hit/cold water label in the shower was upside down, and the water never heated past lukewarm. However, the sink water was piping hot! I had to call down for more linen due to their only being two washcloths/ 4towels in the room, for 5guest! The reviews posted is what encouraged my decision to book two rooms, but I learned otherwise. Anyone traveling with children know how stressful things can get when you have to go over things multiple times, and keep a group of children in order!

POS system per bartender was not accepting AMEX. This I found rather odd since my AMEX was accepted to book the room. When asked to charge it to my room, there seemed to be some level of pushback as well. I did eventually charge it to my room-but this seemed to be a theme amongst other patrons. Again, Odd.
