Only one room was available when we arrived and I requested side to side rooms; we lost time to claim that after the room was ready and my wife lost almost an hour. My reservation said check out at noon and the welcome note said 11 am The worse thing was that the wave pool was not available any day and that was the reason why selected the best and newest hotel at SD.

Want a honest review well here it is , the resort is nice and new but in reality has nothing to offer for families, a small water park which is about it , a resort this big should of had family activities, like games kids activities etc, so unorganized bell desk took about 1 hour to pick up our bags which made us loose our breakfast reservation. Plus I wasn't offered a complimentary upgrade being a platinum member from Expedia and they had a lot of room available. Very expensive and not much to do I would definitely not come back unless they add kid activities and add like some sort of indoor playground for the kids. 3 star ⭐

This hotel was built mainly for conventions , the pools are just extra for families who are staying with the person attending the convention or seminar.There’s only limited restaurants, food wasn’t great with the price that you’re paying.Staff needs more training.There’s no exclusivity with the use of the pool facility. There’s a lot of outsiders just paying $12 I believe to be able to use the pools.So why would you pay almost $600 per night if there’s a lot of people in the pool area.It’s pretty nice and cool because it’s brand new . They should have done a better strategy for the locals and guests.

Overrated for the price. The tv streaming services were not working. Pool is not heated and hot tub was crowded. Food was good but overpriced, there are better restaurants and bar in the area at 3rd Ave at 1/4th of the price. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the staff was kind.

A nice hotel, but we expected a little more. I paid extra for a "corner bay view balcony suite" but was told that none were ready at check-in. They offered what they said was an "upgrade" to a better room, but it turned out to be just a regular bay view balcony room that I could have paid less for at the time of booking, so I felt a little cheated. Aside from that, the room did have a nice view and was new and clean. I do have to complain about the light timers in the bathroom, they would shut the lights off every 7 seconds (I timed it)... Considering the price that we are paying for this room? I would have preferred not to have to shower and use the toilet in the dark! Also, the AC in the room didn't seem to work properly, we never could cool the room below 77 for some reason. I hope that they fix these kinks soon. The hotel lobby is very pretty, the restaurants are nice but pricey. The quality of our sushi was awesome, and our steak at the Old Hickory was really good with great service. The "speakeasy" was nice, but there was no club or place to dance, which might be a problem for future conventioneers who are used to being downtown. The pools were nice, nothing over the top, not crowded, and much more relaxing than I had expected.

My family went with my seven year-old son, and we loved it, my son couldn’t get enough from the waterpark. The opportunity was with the food, this was food that we had in the pool area, they need to improve the menu the price for the quality is not fully there. But also they are just opened and will get better.

We chose the hotel mostly because of its amenities, however we were disappointed due to what was explained as a soft opening. Who uses verbiage like soft opening with the public. Is this verbiage common knowledge? I was dissatisfied with the lack of customer service. I mean, I specifically asked about dinning accommodations. Grant it I was given all the restaurant's; It would have been nice if have been informed of one needing reservations and offered the ability to make one right there and then. We’re weren’t told there was also a restaurant across from the resort. Pretty shady and in my view totally lacked professionalism. Next, we thought we could enjoy the jacuzzi but it was filled with children because the kiddy pools were closed, truth be told I’d never seen children in a jacuzzi (totally not their fault) we had simply planned for an adult getaway. Finally, a convention center without a business center. Without getting too much into the weeds I’d planed on getting a few work related loose ends taken care of but that too fell through. Very disappointing. Didn’t get the opportunity to use our jacuzzi bands…This place might be better in a couple of years, I just don’t think we should have been the Guinea pigs.
