Cons:

"A $57 ‘resort fee’ which got us a closed pool and BOGO cocktails which reduced them to only ~$30 after tax/tip."
"We ordered chips and salsa to go. It was $15 and we left the guy a generous tip. We got back to our hotel, the salsa barely even covered the bottom!!"

"It's kinda pricey, but man it's the best of both worlds."
"The food was average. Bit pricey for the ordinary taste."
"It’s a bit pricey but it’s in a major tourist location in NYC so it was to be expected."
