Bridges Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"Stones have fallen the outside of the building not been replace and some siding was missing. The waterfront restaurant refused to seat us near the water because some tables were not bused and they didn't have staff to clean them was their answer, even though employees were standing around, 14 tables were empty. so much for the waterfront. Would have been a great sunset."
