10/10 Excellent
"Everything was excellent, but the last three times we've been there ( every year we book two rooms for 1 week in August) check-in is supposed to be at four and for past three years we've had to wait until almost 6 PM. I just can't understand it. They make you leave at 11 o'clock in the morning on the dot at check out but the rooms are never ready until 6 PM so why rush out if not ready or even started cleaning until probably 4? As a courtesy, if they make you wait two hours, they should automatically give you a late checkout or give you a complementary breakfast?"

"We loved all the lobby space-lots of room for our group to gather. There were low of breakfast items to choose from on the menu. We didn’t like the crowds at the pool, especially when one of the pool staff said some people at the pool were “day guests.” Given the cost of our stay, we don’t think “day guests” should be taking away our pool space and deck chairs!"
