The room was great, we had a slight problem with the AC but it was quickly resolved, the bathroom is cleaned thoroughly and comes with fully bottles of shampoo, body wash, and conditioner! The amenities are wonderful, including the pool. My two kids enjoyed it a lot after we had our complimentary breakfast. I would recommend this hotel.
