Overall quite convienient but rooms need renovation and access to comfortable seating in rooms. Bathrooms need total renovation . Nightly pricing quite expensive with overall room quality fair/average. Valet parking 34$ a day as well as unexpected resort taxes add to overall daily expense with no eating facilities / room service or bar
