The room was beautiful! The room amenities were fantastic! I especially loved the kind and courteous staff. The food was amazing. We had a wonderful dinner at the Fairview restaurant and ate a hearty room service breakfast in our room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Just a few nitpicks. Pillows were too thick. Requested thinner pillows never showed up. Room door kept sticking and had to kick it open a few times in order to get in. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
Very nice stay at the WDI. All the people there were very helpful and pleasant. Everything was clean and organized. I will be going again to stay in the future!
