It was a good time had a big room. Was mostly clean tried to make the pullout mattress work for the my daughter and was disgusted by the mattress so I just had her sleep on the couch which was fine. The pool was clean just a little cold for our liking. The breakfast was good. Was busy but had a hard time keeping up. The person running it tried to close it about 20 minutes early which kinda pushed everyone away. But overall a good place to stay
