When we arrived shortly before 3PM staff said check in time is 3 PM and our room was not yet ready. They proceeded to check us in anyway and told us we could enter the uncleaned room. We chose not to do so. We walked around the property for two hours until finally calling to find out if our room is ready and it was not. Ended up going to the front desk talking to the front desk manager and he was able to get us in a room after 20 more minutes. By then it was so late we had to postpone our dinner reservation. It was crazy busy at the restaurants. An extremely unpleasant experience although the property itself is pretty.
