Not a wide variety of breakfast food but generally tasted okay. The check in person was horrible- booking wasnt accurate and she refused to help us get it resolved and then wouldnt help with a payment request we had..she also didnt want to get pool slide up and running until we had to go request it, although it should have been running already. The check out staff was much more friendly and helped us fix the reservation with no issues- they seemed confused on why the check in person wouldnt do it. I will go back just because of the check out staff and housekeepers...they were fantastic! My son kept referring to the check in lady as the secretary from Monsters Inc...if that helps with the check in demeanor...

Our one concern was promptly taken care of. Need more staff at the front desk. Breakfast: need to train the person that takes care of the breakfast food and area. Tables were not cleaned between families. Never greeted anyone.

Beds were a little hard and the hotel rooms are a little bit dated. However, it’s clean, staff were helpful and it’s quiet. There is a nice fridge, microwave and good breakfast.
