I missed having two small bottles of water in the room. Given the price breakfast should have been included! The room and swimmingpool were okay. The bottle with shampoo was empty in the bathroom unfortunately.

When I made the reservation I was with the understanding that breakfast was included with each night stay and was told that it was a pay if you wanted a meal and the price for breakfast was a little so we ate elsewhere

We stay here every time we visit and it is always a good experience. Cherry on top is they allow dogs which is a huge help because there are not many hotels in this are much less ones that allow pets. It's always clean and a good experience. Just a warning though, the pool and hot tub always has an excess anoint of chlorine but the kids love swimming here!
