Check in was at 3 however when we got there our room was not ready. We booked a suite as we needed a full size fridge. Had to wait 45 minutes to get the room I reserved. Toilet lid had to be taken off so we could flush the toilet. We did mention to front desk but was still not fixed upon our return.

Pool was down our whole trip, bathroom floors were sticky where we stayed and the glass fort for the shower was broken in a way. The place is nice and quiet as there was only about 4 other families that stayed there at the time.

Sink was clogged and took 20 mins to drain, the AC is preset so no matter what temp you set it on, it’s always going to run at what ever temp they have it set on, be prepared to put a 100.00 incidentals on your card, was woke up at 8:30am by room service to clean my room even though check out wasn’t until 11am.
It was priced well, and it was clean. I will give it that.

Somehow I was double booked and the hotel manager called hotels.com to confirm a refund right away.
The staff were helpful and the room was clean with all amenities working. A Cozy quiet stay.
