Accommodations Review:
|
Brand new -- opened after July 4th. They still have
some bugs to work out being new but the mattresses were good.
We had a KidsSuite. King in the Master BR and Twin bunk Beds in
the Kid's room. The sofa also folds out. Amenities included
Microwave, Refrigerator& coffeemaker, Ironing Board w/Iron.
There are 3 TV's in the room, w/VCR's and a Nintendo in the Kid's
room. A/C is Central style, not in the window.
Good quality but definitely still figuring things out in the
physical plant and the personnel areas. They haven't even got all
the ice & vending machines installed yet. Maid service quality
changed with the arrival of the weekend. Not bad, but not
the same as the initial day and Friday service.
They also use High Profile bed frames to allow you to stuff
your bags under the Master bed.

Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
Breakfast is free and all you can eat buffet. Good
quality -- I have paid for a lot worse. Eggs are bland but
lots of biscuits, waffles, cereal, French Toast, Bacon, Sausages,
yogurt, oatmeal, grits, juices, milk. The coffee left
something to be desired but no one's perfect. Didn't visit the
bars. |

Pool Description/Comments:
|
Nice pool... walk in zero depth going to 5 ft.
Separate Olympic pool is not open yet. |
Other Comments:
|
Only partially complete. They have a good idea, they
just need to follow through. We would got back, but next trip is
the Grand Floridian. This one was a quickie just to get away. |
