Need full disclosure
The hotel was very nice and clean. Very spcious rooms and good breakfast. We were hear for a family members funeral. We have 4 kids and One of fhe reasons we picked this hotel was the pool. This was the only entertainment for the children while family dealt with the emotions of the loss of a loved one. There was no info on line that the pool was not open. We get there and are told the pool is down for maintenance. But noting was being done with the pool the 2 days we were there. This is very disappointing as the kids had nothing. We shoud have been told this on line.
