Room was renovated and clean, bed comfortable, bathroom was nice. Front desk/check-in staff was kind and friendly, check-in was quick and efficient. Outdoor rap concert hosted by hotel did not allow for quiet, restful night. It was loud and disruptive late into the night. Dined at both the onsite restaurant and buffet. Expensive, and wait staff were obviously very harried and very boisterous about staffing and kitchen issues allowing all guests to hear about their behind the scenes issues in an inappropriate manner making dinner stressful and unwelcoming. The buffet was decent but staff did not keep food stocked and were out of a lot of items. Waitress ignored our drink orders the entire meal. I think on a regular day, with normal prices, the stay wouldn’t have been remarkable, however, when a hotel raises prices 3-4 times the regular price because an event is in town or it’s a holiday, then the service should match the price. Unfortunately, the J Resort fell short.
