The staff was very friendly. Loved the hot cocoa bar and the cookies for NYE. It was very busy with kids all over, but the staff handled it well.

Hot tub was hot, Pool was heated as promised, game area was fun, breakfast was good for hotel breakfast, and service was exceptional. So glad we stayed here instead of Holiday Inn Airport South, eventhough Holiday Inn Airport South still charged me a cancellation fee, It was worth paying 120.00 to get out of that hotel and stay here!
