2. how is the noise level, especially at night? I read something upthread about party scene and that is definitely not something we are interested in - want total silence at night
3. what is the alternative amenity provided to Platinum members or will they waive that ridiculous resort fee?
Stayed there right when it converted and they didn't really know what they were doing so can't answer 1. I was given a $ credit that only really covered the 1st of three nights but they were just figuring out the Starwood system and had not yet received the breakfast vouchers. Will be staying again in two weeks so can let you know.
First night I stayed it was quite loud across from building 7 as there was a wedding or something but it ended quite early and the rest of the stay was very quiet. It is more quiet in buildings 1 & 2...anything on that side of the property is better as the event space is directly opposite building 7.
They didn't charge the resort fee for either the paid nights or free nights I used. We will see if that continues when I stay in mid-December.
