Summary: The TV and internet did not work properly. They sent a maintenance man who could not fix it. A fire alarm went off at 1:00 am and did not shut off until 1:30 am. I requested a quiet room and was given one right near the lobby so heard noise from water park and doors slamming close by at 5:30 am. I knew they did not include breakfast but at check in no one told me free coffee in lobby at 7. I should get a partial refund for the inconvenience of things not working. The gentleman Tim who checked us in was very nice. So was Kathy who worked at the coffee shop. Also Justin our waiter in restaurant was very attentive.
