"Room was very clean and staff was very attentive, checking in to make sure we had what we needed and quickly bringing us things we requested (I.e. more towels). Breakfast was a bit lacking in options but not bad. Pool was great, lots of seats and clean. Perfect for my kids to enjoy in the afternoon. Would definitely stay here again."
