8/10 Good
"We had issues with fruit flies in our room which were quite annoying. Reported it. Manager was involved. We couldn't exchange rooms as our room had balcony and view of lake or take a a room facing parking lot. We did not want to change rooms. So they wanted to spray room which we were not comfortable with. They did clean our room again. We asked for a reduction in price but was told no. This room was quite expensive (over $350/ night ). I was treating my daughter and granddaughter to this weekend. We did get a guest bag with nuts and candy plus a note for a discount at a future date which I doubt we will use as we are 6 hours away. I think this hotel could have done better by us."
