For the overall stay there are cheaper options.

Check in took almost 20 min. Not because of me but the guy in front of me having issues with something. And when I got back to our room from going out that night they had no parking available on the property. Even the semi parking was full with vehicles. And there were several other people that showed up after me trying to find a spot. Clearly they have way more rooms than parking.

We were very disappointed at check-in when they charged us a $100 deposit for the room that we had paid for in advance. It rather spoiled the stay.
