Great spot for people with littles!

Clean room- although it could use some updating but just happy it was clean! Staff was amazing upon check in and out. Pool area was wonderful especially with littles! My only complaint was the pool had too much chemicals in it i think? It made our eyes burnt maybe we are just sensitive!! Overall a great stay and we will be back.

The only issue I had was that my room had a water leak in it from the a/c and instead of vacuuming up the water, they just put some 1x1 floor pieces over it but my room still had that dank smell of standing water. The staff and everything else was great.
