The Meadowmere Resort

8/10 Good
"Our room was spotless! The hot tub was awesome! The only negative for our stay was the fact that Expedia did a poor job of describing the room we chose. We were three travelers and needed more than one king bed. When I chose that option that was offered for three, I assumed there was a pull out couch or another sleeping option but there wasn’t! The hotel was able to supply us with a blowup but would have been nice to know ahead and choose another option. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay."
