Despite some bad reviews I saw on Trip Advisor, I thought the hotel was really nice! Everything was clean, the bed and pillows were comfy, the pool area was nice and even had an adult only hour! The little convenience store was also an added plus to get an adult beverage and some Moomer’s ice cream! The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the box breakfast. You had several options to choose from but it just wasn’t as good as the hotel waffles you can make in just about every other hotel. All in all it was a great time and I would definitely stay again!
