I think I would like this resort. The room was nice and the view was good. However, I think it had a bad day. We could hear our neighbors and their TV clear as day. Our TVservice didn't work. We couldn't get any local or cable channels. And the worst part is, we had no hot water. It is awful to start your day with a cold shower, when it's twenty degrees outside. Also, only one person working the front desk on a busy weekend.

Overall good experience. The Warerfront restaurant situation though was a disaster. The hostesses were super overwhelmed. Don’t know why. Not crowded and waited for nearly 45 minutes just to have a table cleaned off but there were several open tables available. We were seated and orders taken but it took over a 1/2 an hour just to get our soft drinks and a Leinenkeugel beer, but before we got them, the waiter came over to ask what our drink order was because he forgot what he wrote down. We waited another half an hour for our food. Fish & chips was good. The BLTwas not. Tasted like liquid smoke was brushed on the bacon. Gross! Room was cute but wallpaper was peeling from the walls and shades on windows were beat up.

the hotel is beautiful, clean! The room was very nice, clean all the time!! About Avani, there was always something, it was very cold in the pool area, the coffee machine only worked for a few hours and broke, the last 2 times I was at Avani the coffee machine didn't work :((( I have nothing to complain about the staff, they always clean, bring clean towels, or collect wet towels, they are very nice!!!

The resort had a lot of family friendly amenities, but the spa staff were rude and the spa was overcrowded (overbooked?) The hallways were really cold and there was no “free breakfast” (not sure why I was asks about that?)
