Faded glory I think. For what we paid I was disappointed with the condition of the room, the bathroom mirror was dirty and the shower hinge was broken. Of significant issue, the QR code with all of the room information was missing and the staff had no system in place to resolve the issue outside of the IT department’s office hours, so we had no access to room service, could not see the mini bar prices etc. By way of compensation the duty manager gave us the bottled water that we had used from the mini bar free of charge, and offered two coffee vouchers which we had no way to use. I did not feel terribly happy about this offer. The onsite restaurants were booked out for functions so we ended up having to eat off site. The dining options were one reason why we chose this venue. I think had I not paid for 5 star, I might not have been so disappointed, but for the price I would not choose this hotel again.

Hotel is love, clean ,however, location isn't practical for families unless driving. Food was poor in the bar gor example pizzas had no toppings especially margarita and was so heavy with sauce was inedible. The buffet breakfast was over priced poor selection( no white bread, for example when asked for some. ). Food was barely warm including hot water.reception staff were great
