Property was good, staff was friendly and helpful. The pool area was very busy and there were no towels available the entire time we were in the pool area (approximately an hour). I understand because of the size of the crowd but it was still a negative.

Fun pool area!

This hotel is a great stay with kids, we have stayed here one other time a few years ago. The pool is great for the littles and the bigs, as there are two areas for swimming. The slide is safe, and adds a fun element for entertainment. This visit the hot tub was broken and not in service, hoping that they are planning to fix it, as we will be back again with the kids.
