The only thing we did not like was the window covering. At night you could see in the room as well as seeing out. Otherwise the bed and pillow were very comfortable and so was the bedding. Breakfast was very satisfying

First issue was the condition of the property. The hand rail in the pool for the hot tub broke off as my 3 year old was using it to sit with me. She took a head dive into the water and scared the crud out of her. Then there were kids running up and down the 3rd floor hall from 10pm to 1am! We called and it never stopped. Will not be returning.

Great stay!
The stay was great! Room was clean. Pool and hot tub were clean. The hotel itself was really quiet-and we even had the pool/hot tub to ourselves most of the evening. Breakfast was great. All of the staff working including the breakfast team were super kind and helpful.
