Overall the room service and staff were great. However we were presented with a slew of fees upon arrival. When I booked through the app we were required to pay a remaining balance of $65 upon arrival, when we got there they told us we had to pay $250 and we would only be getting $150 back after departure. They don’t notify you of this until you arrive so it was extremely annoying (not the staffs fault they just work there!!) The extra fees were pretty much a resort fee, resort tax fee, parking fee, and parking tax fee which came out to $97. You’re charged these fees for every day that you stay. Just warning people ahead of time once again the staff were very pleasant and transparent with us regarding the fees and anything else!
