"My kids had a wonderful time. The room was perfect for a 3 year old and 6 year old. Only problem was a shower. My little one is used to having baths and I forgot the travel blow up bath tub but we made it work. The kids also enjoyed the pool outside. There are chairs and pool towels down by the pool. They loved viewing the huge cargo ships and boats going by the hotel. We did have a balcony on the 6th floor,but we don't let our kids run wild without supervision at all times."
