I enjoyed my stay, the room was clean but there was a lot of freeway noise and the toilet in my room wasn’t functioning the best. Overall the staff had great customer service and would stay here again.

Family friendly.
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Was able to borrow sand toys to take the Beach and they had complimentary swim diapers available. My daughter loved the activities that are planned daily. The size of the room with the full kitchen made our stay comfortable. We will be back.
