"Very nice hotel. Great staff. Only thing that was not great was anyone under 18 cannot access 3 restaurants and cannot access the Marketplace, where they are permitted to eat, from inside the hotel. You must take a golf cart ride from the front out of the lobby all the way to the back of the property to and from. It is strange that logistically there is not indoor access."

"We stayed here during the Rhythm &Roots music festival. Every place seems expensive these days, but it was competitively priced. The room was clean and comfortable, and we liked that they don’t have carpeting any more. Didn’t care for the sink bowl that sits on top of the countertop. Shower had good pressure (1st floor). No shampoo or tissues, just bar soap. Only coffee available in the morning (with vending). The cleaning staff was efficient, friendly and replaced towels. Parking was easy. Last stop on shuttle run for festival. Would stay again."
