8/10 Good
"The Mission Point restaurant was wonderful and the staff and service were great. The check-in was smooth and our room was very nice and clean. The Fairway restaurant was very disappointing. Husband ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and it came without the chicken. The server observed it and said they were terribly busy and would put in for another one! I ate , we waited nothing came. The waiter brought a to - go container thinking we got it ! He apologized and said he check on it! After a hour passed we said to just bring the bill. We were charged for it anyway and the server was so busy we never saw him again. We just paid the $63.00 and my husband went without a meal. Apparently, very short staffed."
