Disappointing

Way below expectations

No 4 star amenities. No coffee. Way too expensive for quality of experience

No amenities - no nice patio/balconies. No staff in our building.

For a better price i would stay here maybe away from the train station if that is an option.

Location is central and walking distance to everything. The bikes were great. The golf cart ride was perfect. It was clean

The pool and hit tub had a sewer smell surrounding the building. So we were not able to use it. The train station woke us up at 6 am everyday. The room designs had quite a lot of patterns and it was overwhelmingwhich wasnt relaxing (thats just me). The goat tree restaurant had amazing food but horrible service. At least 3 people short staffed. It was much better with in room dining. Please add soup to the menu in December sick season.
