Elevator was always broken or didn't work properly. Not enough elevators to accommodate all of the guests. Staff won't tell you what specials will be in the buffet restaurant. Italian selections subpar, Italian sauces were horrible. No creamers in bedroom for coffee machine. Staff can't explain the beeper system and reservation system for the specialty restaurants. Alcohol selection was low quality.
