There were ants in our first floor bathroom. They sent someone to clean and take care of them. They essentially just left them on the ground dead. Hotel was nice. No complimentary bikes to use per website. Pool can only be used with kids 2 hrs per day allotted time.

During our 3 nights in the hotel the air conditioning system didn't function, there was a thunderstorm that flooded our room and the entrance door to our room wouldn't lock when we exited the room. The hotel/ Expedia did not adequately compensate us for the inconvenience. The hotel is beautiful, well located and very comfortable however.
