This was such a fun and colorful place to stay with kids! They love the pool and the s'mores by the fireplace. The staff and maintenance man were so helpful and courteous. The water in the showers was amazing! The room was clean and beds were comfy. Breakfast was basic but there's other options for purchase. I will definitely stay again!!
