"Staff was wonderful. Everything was generally clean and well kept. Our room was great. We had a suite which was plenty spacious. The only issues we ran into were with it being a busy weekend leading to larger ques for the buffet and drinks during kickbacks as well as the lone elevator in the building. They were short waits though."
