Good Stay
Well run hotel. It was full both nights of our stay and there was a towel shortage as a result. That aside the staff were friendly, the room was comfortable, and my kids enjoyed the large pool (by hotel standards) and water slide.

The parking is terrible. The stalls are way too narrow. Our truck wouldn’t fit in one stall so we either took up two stalls which there was none available so we had to park in overflow parking.
