I was very upset when staying here, because they used outdated pictures of their pool area. The slide worked, but the jacuzzi was not working and all of the fun things they have pictured in the baby pool had been ripped out. They really need to update their pool pictures. Also, my room was clean, but very poorly lit. There were two lamps - no overhead light, and the lamps were small. It's not horrible, but I took major points off for the misleading pool pics.

Pictures on their website are outdated as the breakfast area no longer has a waffle maker or microwave. The workout area also was missing the recumbent peddle bike and the tv in the workout area. We also had the unfortunate luck of staying when the pool area was closed.
