We stayed just one night on the last day of our vacation. The front desk was extremely helpful in printing out our boarding passes, providing marshmallows for toasting on the fire pits, and dealing with other concerns. We thoroughly enjoyed the "free wine" hour, but would like to clarify some confusion created by other reviewers on this site. The "free wine hour" is distinct from "happy hour." The former lasts one hour and guests are offered as much red or white wine as they can drink. The latter lasts for three hours (4-7 as I recall) and provides for reduced price drinks in the bar (e.g. $4 for a beer instead of $6) and half priced appetizers. We enjoyed the half priced appetizers so much that we didn't bother going to dinner!
After our very enjoyable 'apply hour we sat around the fire pit, toasted marshmallows and enjoyed a coffee. Sublime!
The next morning we went to the fitness facility and took a quick dip in the pool. As other reviewers have noted, the facilities are excellent.
Our complaints were the smell in the hallway, noted by other reviewers, which we brought to the attention of the front desk, and the paper-thin walls. We are not sure what to recommend to readers about choice of room location. We were not particularly happy with ours, facing the parking lot, but when we asked to change there were no other rooms available. To compensate for our dissatisfaction, the front desk gave us a free continental breakfast, so I commend management for their responsiveness to customer concerns.
