Inside was great! Pool area needs updated.

The room was great; clean, well stocked, great amount of space for two adults and two young kids. Loved the easy access to the pool and hot tub. Theater was great as was the game room. The inside of this building, the 6th floor at least was great. The pool area needs updated though and this place would be 5 stars.
