The place was close to areas food and thr hang out. Housekeeping was nice and i feel front desk could have been more informative about stays like where our room would be or where we can park ,where rhe pools are or the restaurants and maybe smile a little bit. Or that id have to get new keys if i extended my stay. Just stuff like that helps.

Not the greatest

Room smelled terrible of cooked bacon for the whole first half of our stay. Asked for air freshener and was told someone would have to come to our room to spray it. They never showed. Staff wasn’t friendly at all. The bathtub was stopped up so it held water while you showered. The bed was comfortable and the pancake house was pretty good, a little pricey for breakfast food but it tasted good. Last day of our stay the elevator went out so we had to carry all our luggage down 3 floors of steps. Definitely not fun!

I have a three year old daughter and she had the kiddie pool to herself the whole stay! She did finally learn to swim with her floatation device last night (the last night of our stay). The beds were neat and cleaned, and comfy toppers. It was overall great stay with great weather!
