8.4/10 Very Good! (1,236 reviews)

First and foremost, Miss Judy, the breakfast host, was the SWEETEST! Definitely the nicest employee we encountered. Our room was clean, however the hallway carpet could’ve used a shampooing and it did not smell the greatest. Pictures of the entire facility were deceiving, especially the pool area. Would stay here again if options were limited but it wouldn’t be a first or even second choice.
