"I stayed two nights with my daughter and two grandchildren. We all had a fantastic time. The gentleman that worked the frost desk was very pleasant and quick to help with anything we needed. I must note that my grandson is special needs, he is 16 and large but cognitively younger and can be loud and bold, the staff were all very patient and kind with him which means so very much to my daughter and i, of course. People are not always kind and understanding. The pool was clean and refreshing, the breakfast delicious and always stocked well, and the beds were comfortable. All of the staff that we encountered were wonderful. The older gentleman that took care of breakfast was was also very kind, and helpful. At night the young woman was very sweet. We definitely will recommend others stay here, and perhaps will visit again."
