No relaxation at pool

Perfect hotel, we came to relax at the very nice pool. Didn't happen. Parents with screaming children at the pool and no respect to other guests. Kids will be kids cool. But not acceptable. Left us looking for a more adult friendly stay next trip

I was under the impression that I am staying in one of those historical train cart. Then I was told I booked the wrong room. Then all their train rooms were occupied for that night. I ended up staying in a normal bedroom which was very nice. So it was a let down because I did not stay in the room I want to. So double check before you book.
