Very nice stay - thank you, Choice Hotels!

We had an excellent stay.  The value we received from access to Atlantis definitely dwarfed any issues we might have had with the hotel.  Following is the review I posted on tripadvisor.

"I find some of the reviews for this hotel mildly entertaining ... as far as I am concerned, by the time you factor in the cost of your experience at Atlantis, you are essentially getting your room for little or nothing ... and much less if you brought a family as I did.
Sure, the check-in process can be bumpy (we waited until well after 3pm before our room was ready - we were given an explanation: 'late check-outs', but there was no apology), the sleeping rooms are dated but generally clean and functional with a fridge allowing you to stock food/drink for evenings or the day trips to Atlantis, while the breakfast is disappointing (breads, packaged goods, bacon, eggs, sausages, prefabricated waffles, fruit and yogurts) and the eating area insufficient.
Atlantis is a 10 min walk through the casino and shops. It is not worth writing too much about it other than saying that at <$200 per night for four in Comfort Suites it was excellent value, but at $400 per night in Atlantis itself, I'm not sure I would have been too thrilled.
As with others before us, we were able to keep our expenditure reasonable by taking snacks and drinks in with us to Atlantis, eating 'lunch' at Jamba Juice (expensive at $9 for a large smoothie - plus mandatory 15% gratuity for slow, indifferent service) and then dinner at one of the local restaurants (Green Parrot and Senor Frogs were excellent, while Anthony's, next to hotel, should be avoided).Overall, we had an excellent stay - this is an island in the caribbean, so nothing is cheap - but the ambiance of the Bahamas, and quality of the entertainment at Atlantis meant that we went home feeling like we had got what had expected from our vacation."
