8.2/10 Very Good! (1,483 reviews)
Stayed at the Mountain View side; the room size was good. However, HSKP needs to be more thorough with the cleaning. The couch had all kinds of stains, etc., which you could tell it hadn't been properly cleaned for a while. The bath towel had black spots as well. Despite paying for the daily resort fee, there were many "add-on" fees in the resort activities. $20 for slime, $5 for ice cream, etc. Those small activities should be included in the "resort fee." Other than that, the front desk staff was friendly.
