The staff couldn't have been nicer and there were a lot of them making sure that the gawkers didn't interrupt the paying guests. The exercise room was nice and available at no extra charge unless you wanted spa services. The pool was gorgeous with plenty of chairs and towels. The food everywhere was reasonable, generous, and good. The decor is really interesting and of high quality. Having said that, the rest of the hotel was first class. There are only slot machines and poker, and the wait for poker plus the restrictions on the game made it a joke for true players. We were three generations traveling and this hotel had something special for everyone. We just took a quick visit to Florida for a little sunshine and didn't want to pay oceanfront prices in case the weather turned out to be bad.
