The property was nice. I would rate higher if the pool and hot tub were not OVERRUN WITH KIDS. I intentionally booked this hotel because we had a very long drive. When we arrived the pool area was overrun and frankly DIRTY because of the people in there. They were eating pizza and had drinks all over the place. Kind of gross.
