The room does not correspond to the price, very bad repair condition, the plaster on the walls is crumbling and not painted, the sink is cracked, the bed is scratched and in terrible condition. Very bad soundproofing, I can hear the neighbors what they are doing behind the door.

The room was unacceptable. The toilet was so low that it was about 4 inches lower than my knees. It was built for a 6 year old. The couch was so soft that if you sat down, you could not get back up. The bed was on a large wooden box bringing the mattress up so high that we could not get into the bed. They offered a stepping stool to get into bed, but it took 2 hours to get it as they could not find another one as all the other rooms were using all they had. We have traveled to all 50 states and 5 continents and this was the worst room we have ever seen!! It was clean and had beautiful views, but it was not liveable.

It is the only hotel in the area with decent rooms and bathrooms. The staff is lukewarm. Some are very nice. Some are just there to do the job as well as they possibly can. The parking is limited and it is only Valet parking adding a $30.00 per day to the already very high charge. The restaurant only has a buffet breakfast for $32.00. If you are vegetarian you pay for all the fish and meat you don't eat anyway. Dinner also buffet only $62.00 same deal.

Lovely winter visit to the Park. Staff did seem a little inaccurate on what was open at other facilities. New coffee machine may want to consider tea bags for tea drinkers even if have to be brought in.

Nice, but worth the money?
The hotel is beautiful, but we could not enjoy the amenities. The lobby was too cold to sit in and there were about 12 children, screaming and yelling when we were there. Instead of staying in the room of their private party, they emerged into the lobby to chase each other, and scream, which made it very unpleasant. The pool was also unavailable, because it’s under renovation. We could not get into the dining room for dinner, even though we tried to book ahead of time. The bar was closing by the time we checked in and we’re ready to go. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable, but not worth $700 a night which it costs with fees, taxes and the mandatory valet parking. The dining room is stunning, but very difficult to get into. We enjoyed our $85 breakfast for 2 one morning, but the price kept us from returning. The view from my room was so lousy which made me wonder why this room was so expensive. In general, the staff was accommodating. We found, however, that we were so busy outside in the park that it was not worth it to spend that type of money only to come back and crash in the room. Since we could not get a dinner reservation, the swimming pool was closed, and the lobby too cold to sit in, we felt that it was difficult to take advantage of any amenities. I would suggest going there for a meal and walking around the grounds, but if you’re going to spend a lot of time in the park, it’s not worth the extra cost to stay here.
