great

Room was spacious and comfortable. The pool was nice. The only issue was that the front desk was closed after 10pm so we were unable to get a blanket or anything else we may have needed after then.

Great location

Location is great and lots of places to walk to. The pool is fun and the kids loved it. I wasnt to happy with the bedding and found the childrens bedding to be dirty. Breakfast was okay but not many options.
