I spent a couple of nights here on the free nights promotion. Was a little apprehensive having read much on here, in summary I'd say mixed reviews.

On the plus side, the front desk staff were excellent and seemed genuinely eager to please, the hotel facilities were very good for families (nice pool, games room with Playstations and some arcade games etc) and an excellent breakfast choice.

On the negative side, well, the decor and furniture has been mentioned a few times and I was disappointed. It tries to be upscale, but just looks bad with the peach and green everywhere. Staff by the pool and in the restaurants seemed to take an age with simple requests - e.g. on a cool day by a deserted pool it took 20 mins for 2 drinks to arrive and the order was then wrong - and, my main annoyance in many American hotels, you get the "hanging around" effect when people want tips for the most basic service provision. Guys at valet were particularly bad, given it's $30 already I was more than happy to play the ignorant Brit.

Both my wife and I came to the conclusion that if we'd paid for the hotel we'd have been disappointed at current market rates, it's a low-$200s hotel at the moment masquerading as something more.
