This is your friendly Neighbour- Kathryn, a Canadian ✌ Our travels through the USA were disappointing and shameful. We were offended at the number to service employees arrogant behaviors and comments regarding but not limited to current political conflict USA. We won't be bullied and we won't be traveling to the USA. And NO It's not " funny" that the USA has threatened to use economic and or military force to annex our country.

The resort is a great place to stay but is obviously geared toward casino customers. The restaurants had very loud music playing all the time. The staff were very good to deal with.

Easy place to hang out and play golf at for a few days. More casual eating locations would be great. The lighting in the rooms is pretty abrasive - annoying LED spot lights. Clean and roomy for the price though.

Whereas the property and room was phenomenal, the customer service is an embarrassment. From the get go, while checking in at 1:53, the receptionist tells me there's a $20 early check in fee. Check in was 2:00. I joked that I was going to stall for 7 minutes and she asked if I wanted to stand aside until 2:00. Seriously? A first time visitor and you're that adamant about my $20 as a first impression? Aside from her, the bartenders were absolutely miserable. No personality, no eye contact, no apology while I waited ten minutes as the only one in line for a beer. Our waitress at the Cantina was terrific - very nice and cared about her work. The cleaning crew were all pleasant. The "suits" on the floor, didn't care. They only seemed to interact with the regulars. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Overall experience was very disappointing by simply feeling unwelcomed.
