We stayed here on a trip to the North Shore. After a day of hiking and exploring, it was great to come back and relax or head down to the pool. We also enjoyed the Moguls restaurant right there on the property and enjoyed an evening around the fire pit with the delicious s'mores kit provided. We have older teenagers and all enjoyed this stay.

Loved the outdoor pool, and the pool hours. Staff was also very friendly. However, our room smelled really musty and our floor in our room was dirty. When we walked around with our socks on the carpet our feet turned brown. The air conditioning also wasn't on when we arrived and it took about the entirety of our stay to air it out and cool the room down. There were also about 100 flies in our room when we arrived.
