Really great place to stay with family! We enjoyed this hotel and they had a great breakfast. The room was a bit on the smaller side and didn’t have the little things in the bathroom that I’m used to having like face wash. I’m sure I could have asked the front desk so that may be my bad. The bathroom had lotion and hand wash and one makeup remover . The shower had the normal shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I will say I do like the Dove brand so it was all nice and smelled good. The kids loved the pool and hottub and it is well looked after .
