Advantages: closer to nearby shopping areas and restaurants, clean rooms, lots of options for activities within the hotel for the whole family. Water park was very spacious so finding chairs to set our stuff was easy and wait times weren’t bad at all. Disadvantages: bathroom was very small sink was outside of bathroom due to size limitation and there was no ventilation fan, WiFi only allows one device at a time to use free WiFi or else you can choose to pay for additional devices. Mattress was very firm and my fiancé woke up every morning with back pain. TV doesn’t have streaming service login options. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
