"My teenagers enjoyed the breakfast and they also got to enjoy the pool and it was the easy accessible entry for me being paralyzed in a wheelchair for family to be able to come and visit so I didn't have to be outside. I enjoyed the fact that they had coffee throughout the day of the stay. I love the fact that there was a full size refrigerator with a freezer so I know that my stuff was not being touched with other people's things. They had it set up perfectly so it was not interrupting the king size bed portion with constant walking through to go to the bathroom in the night. I definitely recommend staying everywhere at hotels like these!"
