6. Plus, the service in the restaurant is hit or miss, one day we had a nice girl - Sabrina - but sadly the other days we had a guy who lacked visibly in hospitality skills.

8. sadly, we had just one night stay at this Double Tree Resort because it was a great experience from beginning--the warm fresh cookies, being upgraded, very good reception staff and better than very good doormen/bellmen.
