9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,005 reviews)
Best thing was digital check in and being able to pick your rooms. The rooms themselves were clean and tidy. Staff was friendly. Pool was small but fine. Unruly small kids running around the pool at 7-8pm, same kids jumping into the hot tub, walking right over us as we are sitting in the tubs. Their parents were not in the tub nor were these kids ever told to. Breakfast area was tight and it was very crowded at 8am on a Sunday morning. There were only two hot food items, which was a little disappointing given options available at comparable hotels. The hot food wasn’t enough and kept running out every 3rd-4th person.
