Food was cold even though we were literally the first guests. Drinks were alright. Feels like the ghost of a once great place.

We really enjoyed the ambiance and atmosphere of the Tonga Room. The room, pool, thunderstorm all exceeded our expectations. Despite the reviews we read about the food and drinks only being average, we found them to be very good! The food price was very reasonable for the city. The wait staff was excellent. The entertainment was so-so. But be prepared for the other costs. We live outside the area and it happened to be a very stormy night, so we used the hotel parking. $75 parking, $15 musical entertainment cover charge per person, and $25+ drinks.
