Would stay here again!
Our weekend stay was great! We loved the indoor pool for our kids, the staff was so friendly, we had everything we needed in the room. The only downfall was the bed was not comfortable at all.

Overall, it was a nice place to stay. The AC was having some issues but it did work to cool down the rooms. A few minor issues happened but we could resolve them. Given that this is peak season, our issues were minor and staff did the best they could while serving so many other patrons.
