If it had complimentary breakfast included it would've been awesome. The layout of the room were smaller then i thought. It was great if it had a microwave. But all in all it was an excellent stay and my child enjoyed the pool and waterslide.

Room was clean. Staff was super friendly. Only suggestion I would have, and this is just personal haha, is having smart tv capabilities. It’s hard to find something on the regular tv. But that’s just a personal thing.
