I liked how fast i got to my room. Disliked how my $74 bottle of wine and $34 cheese platter was presented when i got to the room. A bucket of ice with the bottle in it would had been nice and not having the glasses and bottle in the fridge. Didn't even know the glasses were in the fridge until we were done the wine. Pastic covering for the cheese and fruit plate. Just made it look cheap which it wasn't
