The staff did not know the hours of operation for the dinning room and was not open when they said it would be. They spent more time making fun of my last name and generally showing off their grade 5 mentality. Not very good ambassadors for a very nice hotel room very comfortable with a very good view.

Hot tub has a ladder built into the wall no steps so when the air bubbler is on you assume there are steps and take a nose dive into the hot tub which is quite deep. Maybe a sign!? Otherwise it was nice and hot.
