Good place to stay with kids

It was a quick trip for us, but this fit our needs very well. The room was spacious for the kids & service was excellent. The service staff were all so friendly & helpful. The elevator takes forever though because there is only one small elevator for the entire place. The walls were thin, so we could hear the baby nextdoor crying in the middle of the night. The kids were excited about the pool, but its currently under construction.
