In the room we found some mini red spiders near the beds, plus other bigger ones in the top corner or the walls. Some spider web in the walls too. Not dangerous one but kids and wife were not feeling comfortable with that issue . Room was not extra clean too. Great parking , and at 6-7 minute of old orchard .

The rooms and pool look nothing like what’s advertised. There was black stuff all over the bathroom door. One bed tilted towards the head, not very comfortable. We were there for a baseball tournament and we ended up leaving early. And checking into a different place.
