Staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet was pricey at $25/per. Room doors were in rough shape and significant gap at bottom of room door in 133, leaving a good amount of light coming in at night from parking lot. Beds were disappointing from a comfort standpoint. Property in general looked amazing.

Not much for $300/nite. Could not get in earlier than 4pm, had to leave by 11:00. Rooms pretty sparse, no sofa, not much scenery to look at. Not a golfer so it wasn't worth $300 /nite

Property is fine. Showing its age a little, but in good condition. We wanted to use a hot tub after golf, but were disappointed with the functionality and usability of both the indoor and outdoor hot tubs. The outdoor was too cold and we had to ask hotel staff twice to make the water-churning mechanism function. Then we tried the indoor hot tub, but something inthe water---maybe way too much chlorine?--- burned our eyes. We stayed in the indoor hot tub less than 3 minutes because of that. Really not usable.
