The hotel was nice and staff was amazing. Breakfast was good and there was a restaurant/bar right next door. It was a quiet hotel didn’t hear kids running everywhere even though it was a full hotel full of families. The only reason the cleanliness was lower on the ratings was the pool was filthy. There was a film of white/clear stuff, hair and bugs floating on the top of the water.
