I'm still not over my one day visit there in August a few years ago.
It was a real feel of 140.
I have zero desire to ever go back

thanks for the backup @tavster  either way it’s my only time to get away, I managed to snag 2 nights before the bonvoy(age) so saved like 50,000 on that, the activities are only done in morning or night when it’s cooler I’m thinking of napping and pool (maybe spa) in the hot part of day and yes I’ve also been to Cle in Jan @Dan
