Loved the property but the reservation agents at front desk need to be trained better my credit card on file at property for incidentals was charged for the whole trip again and for parking and a dinning package that I pre paid in cash upon arrival, just stressful speaking to a few people who really didn’t know what they were suppose to do and a Manet who would not come out of office to address my concerns.

Staff was very friendly, however being nickeled and dimed for parking was an inconvenience. Property was adequate, AC vents need to be cleaned and sanitized, but everything else was on par. Had an issue with a thieving patron, but that is no fault of GWL.
