The room was average. It was my 40th birthday so my expectations were above average. I’m used to being celebrated unpon entry. It definitely felt like a chain hotel instead of a resort. Transportation cost around $18-$20. Easy access to all the local areas. The property could use a deep clean. It feels old and dark. I loved the entertainment schedule but found some of the music was played more than to my liking. The food gets old after 3 days. Breakfast was great but the restaurants were not. In my opinion the only good one exist is the steakhouse. I think the pool could be a lil bigger but overall it’s a nice affordable stay. Turn down service was good until it wasn’t. Be careful leaving belongings in the rooms as there is no policy to protect your property from theft or damage.
