8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and seemed to be newly updated. The room was muggy when we arrived but cooled quickly. The fan on the ac made a rattly noise but it wasn’t until in the night that we noticed. The pool was fun for our kids and everything was clean. The only complaint was that the pool towels were small and thin. Everyone we encountered was nice and helpful. Breakfast was great with lots of options. The lady serving breakfast was really attentive. We would stay again."
