We had ants in our room and when we asked to speak to a manager, we were told he was busy. We have emailed numerous times and have not received a response. The first night they were in the floor and appeared to be coming from the adjourning room. They came and vacuumed them up. The second night the ants were now in our bed and all over the room. We were not even offered an apology.

Staff is less than friendly on check in/out. Service in the trophy room was terrible. Bartender should attend to guest equally not just those she wants to flirt with.
