Would have happily given this a 4-4.5 star review if it had not been for the rock hard beds and horrible pillows that made me so sore the entirety of our two night stay. Our booking for 2 queen beds was given away and they were all sold out when we arrived. They did offer a rollaway bed which worked for my 12 year old. Luckily my 7 year old was small enough to sleep on the chaise lounge. They did credit me $50 for the mix up, but yeesh I haven’t been this sore from a bed maybe ever.
