The beds in the family suites were small, full size. Made sleeping with my husband crowded. We are used to a King size bed. The pool and hot tub were nice. The water wasn't cold and pretty clean. The breakfast was great too.

Loved the stay here! Perfect place to stay the night after a full day of holiday world. My only concern was the discovery of a spider in our towels, but that’s all! Very outdated, but it adds a charm to the place.
