It was a very nice day. The only issue I might’ve had is I arrived early and was explaining for an additional $75. They could give me a room or I could wait for the 4 o’clock check in.

Carpet was wet when we showed up and through the duration of our trip. Someone smacked our car while we were parked there and the bed was very hard. Could have been better but the views were nice.

I booked 3 rooms and asked that at least 2 were conjoining rooms and had came in early in at 6 am to request. Was told that they would help snd when we got to the room . We had 2 rooms Nextdoor to each other but not conjoined and then a 3rd room 5 door down with a conjoined entrance to a room that was empty occupied yet. Very upsetting. I had a family with children And would’ve been helpful and safer,
