Your staff was not FRIENDLY. No smile. I honestly felt like they did not like black people. I even asked at the front desk. The staff in buffet did not smile or great. The bacon was half cooked, but they made sure fry good ham if that’s what it’s called for themselves while my sister stood there waiting thinking they would put in plate for guest. My overall rating is average because of the staff. They need TRAINING and learn to smile and at least say good morning. Checked out and wasn’t even asked how was my stay. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Terrible hotel! Don’t stay here! There’s roaches, the toilet didn’t work walking into room. While we were sleeping, someone from the staff came in our room, realized it was the wrong one and left out. Family tried to pick us up to go to a wedding, they wouldn’t let the uber in to pick us up, they wanted us to take a taxi to meet the uber to the gate.

Las habitaciones estan descuidadas, la plancha no servía, no tenia taza para la cafetera, las lamparas no encendían, los enchufes no funcionaban, el teléfono no funcionaba. Esta despintadas las habitaciones. Los restauranes siempre estaban llenos, no hay para hacer reserva. No habia transporte para moverse a ningun lugar, estan muy lejos como el parque acuático y caminar con niños esta muy fuerte. Normalmente tienen carritos para mover a los guest. No rellenaban los cafés. El televisor programación pobre. Se que pensaran que es el más económico pero deben de tener todo apto para que el guest regresé. Solo habia líquido, jabon de manos y un jabon que era para pelo y cuerpo, tampoco habia eso en el cuarto.
