I liked that we were able to use the resort fee towards the restaurant so it doesn’t really feel like you’re paying a resort fee. I also like that we got 2 glasses of wine. So the fees and the costs didn’t feel as bad with those types of perks. The area isn’t good. If we stayed 3 blocks away it isn’t as bad ai I would’ve paid to be in a nicer an area that feels safer.
