Okay
44 year old with a luxury budget

I tagged along with my wife as she attended a conference planning to work remotely from the hotel. Had to pay $15/night for a network connection and more to have wireless. That was on top of over $250/night for the room. Wireless was unreliable and only available in about 10% or less of the facility. Turns out that after I had made plans to visit along with my wife an urgent deadline came up and I had a lot of phone meetings and ended up spending as much as 16 hours a day on my computer.

All I was looking for was a reasonably quiet place with power, wireless access and a decent height table, preferably outdoors to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather we experienced. We were told that the only place that wireless was available was in the lobby. I did find that I could get reliable wireless just outside the lobby but no power was available and the tables were under 2 feet high. There was a restaurant in the lobby with "patio" tables that had power and were a good height and had good wireless, which was recommended to me by the hotel's Services Manager, but, of course, there wasn't even a window available. There were a couple of tables in the Lobby Bar at a reasonable height, but there was relatively loud music playing constantly and no power available. The map of wireless access for the hotel showed it being available at the pool bar which was outside, had tables of reasonable height and one table had power nearby, but the wireless didn't actually work there.

If you plan to visit this hotel and intend to spend some time working, I would not recommend it in any way. If you're going to have to hang out inside, you might as well stay at home and work in your office.

In addition, not having a rental car and being stuck in the restaurants in the hotel I found the food to be very good, but very expensive. There were very few low cost options. My wife and I ended up spending around $200/day average for food and beverages during our stay which I don't really consider a good value. Certainly for an average working person that's not completely unreasonable for an occasional "night on the town", but to have to spend that every day for several days with no options is a bit rough.
