Great family hotel
Overall a great stay with our family (2 kids and 2 adults). The pool/hot tub were a highlight for the kids and the breakfast was great! Pretty disappointed with the "arcade" though since it was mostly just claw machines and no traditional arcade games. Other than the 5 claw games, there was another gimmicky "cut the rope to win a prize" game and air hockey. One of the adults used the exercise room and thought it was nice and clean with a good variety of equipment.

The hotel was very well kept. The staff was more than pleasant. My only small caveat was that there was no one to enforce the adult-only pool hours. There were children there every night.

Our experience overall was great. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only problem was the strong smell of chlorine in our room. We had a 3rd floor room with a balcony that overlooked the pool and dining area. My husband couldn’t tolerate the smell and spent several hours resting in the car. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.

Loved our king size room on the 3rd floor where there was only a total of 3 rooms so quiet and close to the elavators as we're elderly and we have a hard time moving around. Wish breakfast hours would have been until 10am as we never utilizied this perk because we couldn't get moving around and ready before 9:00 so we'd have time to enjoy our breakfast.

Tiny room with weird layout. Breakfast area huge, but out of main items often. NOT worth the cost.
