"Great and beautiful property! Unfortunately the breakfast is ridiculous prices. 30$ for adults. 15 for kids. 5 and under free. I've been to plenty lower class hotels that even give basic FREE basic breakfast. My family and I left without breakfast. Also, the parking was ALSO additional 39$.. no free parking at all aside from your hotel stay costs. And the pools were closed because the heavy winds which is understandable I guess. But they closed the recreation area too.. which my kids were really looking forward to. The hotel was beautiful but I dont think id ever stay there again. All the additional charges are just crazy."
