There was a mix up on our reservation. Our room was occupied. We received another room but had to improvise on how to handle sleeping arrangements for the 2 disabled members of our group. The eating area was not disability friendly.

Inflated prices

I think it's terrible to price gouge people when it's a graduation or holiday. It should be illegal how inflated prices are for special occasions. Breakfast was awful as well, was undercooked and packaged goods were stale and dining room was too small. No hot tub was also a disappointment for paying almost $600 for two nights.
