9/10 Wonderful! (1,008 reviews)
•There needs to be an elevator!! Outside stairs to our room was scary enough…imagine carrying a heavy suitcase! •Hot tub? •Allowed children to run around in the lobby at 9:45pm. •Noisy room (it was located below the lobby). Sounded like a renovation was underway. •Toilet moved every time someone got off of it. A few nice touches: staff were friendly and helpful. View was great! Robes were in our room. Complimentary breakfast was okay…needed gluten free bread options. Balcony was nice to just sit and have a drink.
