The over all experience was great. My wife and 2 daughters had a wonderful time, except that our sink kept getting backed up and would fill with a horrendous brown fowl water that would stink up the entire entryway. I had to call down to the front desk twice, and actually go down and talk to someone in person to get the problem addressed. The maintenance man who visited the room was exceptional and extremely professional. Management never once reached out to apologize for any inconvenience at all, just sent a bellhop with a new room key and a cart.
