"Very popular and busy hotel. I felt a little mislead by the "pool pictures". Thought I might go for a quick swim but its actually a seperate indoor water park shared by the adjacent hotel. Not a big deal. Person did not engage at check in. She was probably finishing another project but did not look up to say hi or that shed be right with me. Could have been a long day. Fairly quiet."
