Housekeeping is the only complaint. The check in was great, courteous service. The bar staff was great, no complaints. They offered fresh, hot cookies which were great with check in. There was a lot of traffic nosie. We were on the interstate side of the hotel. Pool would be good for cooler weather. The pool room was almost to hot to sit and watch your child."
