the beautiful family room was perfect for us (i traveled with my kids!). i loved the rainfall shower. breakfast had a wide choice, such a treat!
the green light in the room was a bit bright at night. i found that the service at the bar was slow because the staff seemed busy.

limited cocktailsoverpriced food
I found a couple of things less than stellar. The advertised cocktails were a no-go on several nights, apparently dependent on who was working. it was frustrating when i wanted to unwind, but the staff said they were too busy. the food, while decent, didn't quite live up to the hype i saw online, so it felt overpriced!
