Disliked: Amenities
Light broken in room.Elevator from garage was dirty and deflected. There are 2 additional hidden fees attached to the stay, parking is 45 dollars per day and there is a resort fees that come up to an additional 80 dollars per night. It’s not worth the dishonest lower “room rate”.
