We enjoyed the stay. The staff were kind and helpful. The main reason I am giving it a low rating is because the pool was not opened and looked like it had not been for awhile! This was not clearly stated before we booked. With 5 kids that was a huge let down! We would not mind staying again if the pool opens! The rooms are dated and not very fancy but that didn’t bother our stay at all!
