Staff is friendly. Room was amazing. Only thing we did not like is people “reserving” the pool chairs with towels and not being around for hours then coming back to claim the chair. There should be a better system for that or someone on guard.

Great hotel, such a fun experience to stay there. Only complaint is no room service?? And the water gets hot FAST. But besides that. Insane hotel. We loved staying there. We barely left the hotel all weekend because there is so much to do! Worth all the money.

Quirky decor was wonderful. A throwback to the 1940’s. Shower needed a door to not flood the floor. Could use another mirror in the room
