Disliked: Amenities
We got our room 1.30 hour later than the 3 ocklock check in time. We were supposed to get a text and never did. The water in the rooms are tasting like really bad. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. When we addressed the issue the front desk was just like we have told the corporate about it and thanked us. There is no public facilities so I don’t understand why there is a 40$ “resort fee”. Overall not that great for a 5 star hotel.
