Pool was fun and clean and as expected. No hot tub as advertised so that was disappointing. I appreciated that there was security patrolling the parking lot to watch our vehicles! Hotel was clean, staff was busy but kind. Breakfast was honestly terrible besides the pancake maker, juice was watered down food was put out “fresh” but hard as a hockey puck lol but my kids still got their bellies full (from pancakes) and we all had a good time. We will be back.
