Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The weather was bad, so we were unable to take advantage of the recreation activities. The carpet in our room was very old and had an unpleasant smell (possibly from smoking). It was really noisy, and we were woken up early by loud music on Saturday and Sunday. There are no usb ports to charge devices either, so we had to buy charging blocks. The shower was nice but 1ply toilet paper...seriously. I am not trying to sound like a snob, but for the price we paid for the room I expected more. Also, parking is tough because there is a nice restaurant next door and the people who don't want to pay to valet or walk a longer distance just park in the resort lot. We could have stayed at the Marriott nearby for half the price and it had the same rating of Excellent that this place had. The place is fine, but for the price, as I said, we just expected more.
