Just returned from a 2 night FFN stay.
The $12 resort fee is waived on award stays, NOT for Diamond status.
I agree that the welcome amenity is wasted on anything other than points when you have RC access.
We were also able to use a $100 dining cert. This property has a history of accepting them on FFN and award stays.
Ordered the Buffalo Wings in Cutthroats on the 2nd night and sent them back in disgust. Seriously suspect they might have a health issue in the kitchen there.
On our last day went to the Lone Eagle Grill for lunch. Had a fantastic meal up until the drink waiter dumped an entire tray of drinks on our table. We were only lightly sprayed, but everything on the table was drenched and one chair had to be replaced and there was NO RESPONSE from management. We spent several minutes drying ourselves off and watching them replace everything on the table, so there is no way this went unnoticed.
Still, we were having a great time and charged the food to the cert, so not a big deal.
