Top West University Hotel Reviews

J Resort

8/10 Good

"I know that this place has had a Multi million dollar renovation. Its very nice. My only complaint was that when we ate at the $40.00 buffet. The tables were cleaned and wiped down. but they never bother to clean the floor under the Tables. It looked like it hadn't been vacuumed/cleaned once during service. Grated cheese and crackers. Pieces of salami. It was almost to the point that we left. I understand its all about turnover.. but it only takes a quick vacuum over it."
