Overall, it was a great experience - I liked it so much, I've already booked a return trip while I was staying in the hotel. However, some of the staff seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. I had a few questions upon checking in the person behind the desk was less then enthusiastic when speaking with me. Once I was in my room, I noticed the hotel room door didn't lock; they sent someone to come fix it but he told me it wasn't broken & wouldn't really take anything else for an answer, so my entire four night stay the door was half unlocked. Later that first day, I noticed the patio door didn't lock; the hotel sent someone to fix it, which they did with gracious speed. Day two my tv wasn't working, when I called to have someone look at it they didn't have anyone available, had to wait until the next day. Day 3, tv didn't work, they sent someone to fix it. Day 4, tv didn't work, they once again sent someone to fix it. Aside from the room issues, it was a nice stay. The pool/cabanas/wink wink restaurant was great. Kelly at the pool bar is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! She really made our time at the pool wonderful, same with Jersey. I was able to meet Brittney as well, the three of them deserve a raise, really great customer service. Would recommend & plan to stay again, just hope to have less issues in the room!

People at the hotel were extremely helpful and kind. Our only issue was both of our bedside plugs didn’t work and it made it difficult to charge our devices for the next day. Other than that, the stay was great.

The location is excellent. You can walk to Van Wezel Performing Arts Center and Marina Jack and downtown. Front desk staff was helpful. Had a King room and it was really small - narrow space between the bed and the TV. Shower was very tiny - almost impossible to take a shower without getting your hair wet. Room was supposed to be cleaned but, although we left it empty for 5 hours during the day, it was not cleaned - and we even saw the cleaning staff as we were leaving the room and said we were going out.

Understaffed, poorly ,managed

A bad check-in e experience (no clerk anywhere, no drink) started things on the wrong foot. Hidden “resort fees” of $28 per day were outrageous. Pool bar was out of wine glasses and most beer. Only one bar tender doing her best with many customers. The room was nice. The pool,area is very nice. The staff is insufficient to maintain an illusion of luxury.

There were a lot of added costs at this property. Parking $35 per day, resort fee $28 per day, extra person fee for our child $15 per day. The pool area and bartenders were the shining star of this property. Housekeeping was terrible. Our room was cleaned 1 time in the 4 days we were at the hotel. After calling and asking for service twice in one day, and being promised they would come, it never happened. The next day, we finally got the room serviced, but they did not make the bed in the loft bed. The front desk did nothing to accomodate for the issues, and informed us that management weren't around to talk to.
