I found the layout extremely confusing.  I spent 1 hour just trying to get from the registration table to the elevators leading to my room.  When you're trying to figure out where you are, where you want to go, and dodge people it's difficult.  I have no problem traveling, but from what i can tell there are no landmarks.  A week is not enough time to learn this hotel.  I'd need to spend a lot of time, and practice over and over.  I'm with some friends and one of them is sighted.  I do let him guide me, but I should be able to pick up routes, since we always go the same way.  NOt this hotel!
The food is very expensive, and there aren't any eating establishments nearby.  If you want to not pay a lot of money for food, you need a car.  I know Publix is across the street, but you have to get out to the road.  With my physical disability, I would not risk trying to walk that far, especially when no sidewalks exist.
