    Staff were great! Pool was fun. Only issue we had was some spots in our room were missed by housekeeping. Not the end of the world just kinda gross. Ill still go back. I also would've liked to be able to stream a movie for the kids but the tvs only play local cable.

    The beds are hard as a rock and pillows are so lumpy that I used towels instead of a pillow. Breakfast was very basic, dry almost petrified eggs, not sure why it’s being touted as something special on the site. They did however rescheduled me when I was not able to make the initial visit date and called the day of arrival to reschedule.

    Very nice place and quiet during the time that we stayed there. Did not use the pool area so no comments on that. A little pricey but a nice place to stay when visiting the area.

    Rooms were clean my only reason for giving one star is they advertise a waterslide but wont turn it on for you. That was the main reason we went there, so if you're going there for the waterslide especially if you have kids don't count on it. They even have a sign on the waterslide to go to the front counter to have it turned on but they will just say no. So basically it's just a trick to overprice their rooms.
