The staff was good but the place needs up dated and the furniture was chipped up . The mattress on the fold out couch was terrible! The pillow they gave was the worst thing I have ever seen! The pool and hot tub was good! The door fixtures in the pool area were all rusted and in terrible shape! The fire alarm system went off many times at 4:30 in the morning! No staff ever let anyone know what was going on! We took our grandchildren there and they asked next time to stay somewhere nicer!
