I was very optimistic to experience the "Roosevelt" during a busy summer weekend. However, my experience was awful. The hotel's elevators were broken the entire weekend which resulted in a 20 minute waiting period to take my bags up to the room and several trip up and down the stairs to the 8th floor. The staff was also very unaccommodating. I got the feeling that they didn't care if we enjoyed our stay or were satisfied because they would have guests no matter what because of their name and didn't care if we ever returned, which we wouldn't anyways. They also would not allow more than 2 guests per a room at the pool, which only has 90 chairs for the 700 guests to boot. If you wanted a chair you had to get up a dawn and sit in your chair for the entire day or else you would lose it. If you expect to lay out or party at the pool, it is very difficult to do. The hotel also allows their "guests" aka, people who greased the pool bouncers and front desk people, to be at the pool making it even more crowded and much harder to get a $15 drink. Don't stay here, you will be disappointed. This is not only my opinion, but many other people who were staying there at the same time also spoke this way and said they would never stay there again. Being a guest also does not give you any priority at the door for Teddy's or the Tropicana Bar. Use your money elsewhere.
