CertificationCamps.com Review - short version

I have just arrived in Florida to attend a certificationcamps.com training class.  This review will be from my experience at the training camp start to finish.

The cost of this training class is fairly priced if not slightly better then a few others I looked at.  It includes the following:

1. Airfare to Florida (economy class) there and back.
2. Hotel at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Marriott.
3. Four days of training and exam voucher.
4. Lunch provided by the training center.
5. Training books.
6. Shuttle pickup from the airport by certificationcamps.com to hotel.
Tomorrow is the first day of class and I will report on the facilities, trainers, food, snacks and overall feel of the training and sessions.  I have been to many training and certification classes and boot camps over the past 15 years.

Short review: 
Hotel - mid level hotel that included a basic breakfast each morning. 
Shuttle bus over to training. 
They have a suite inside a building with other tenants that includes 4 classrooms for training.
The classroom was adequate and the computers ran well. 
Instructor was knowledgeable and friendly. 
They provided lunch each day which was takeout from a different place each day. 
Nice patio area for lunch and breaks. 
Onsite testing ran well and was like all other testing centers I'd been too. 
Overall it was good for the price all inclusive (Airfare, hotel, transportation to and from airport, lunch, 5 day class and 1 exam).
Overall Score = B+  I would attend a class here again and they did better then Global Knowledge in my opinion. 
Note
- a few things that kept it from getting an A
1. Nobody there to greet me / Welcome me at the CertificationCamps.com business entrance front desk area the first day I arrived.  I had to find my own way back to the classroom on my own. 
2. I could be wrong but the training materials we received seemed like they were just photocopies that had been quickly put into a cheap binder.  They didn't see official but maybe that's just how some of them are.  I'll post a photo if I can find the material again.
