This was my family's 1st time staying at this location. It was very clean, the staff was super friendly and there was plenty for my 4 year old grandson to do. He loved the indoor pool, miniature golf, arcade room, playground and even the movie theater. He selected the movie he wanted to see and we were the only ones in the theater. The staff even popped popcorn for us. I would definitely stay here again.
