Check-in was fast and we were offered drinks and my son received a cute goodie bag. He mentioned it being his birthday and the staff sent warm cookies to our room. Such a wonderful touch to our stay!!!! The pool was large and we had a great swim. The property itself has had some updates making it nice. Our bed was very comfortable and overall the room was nice although missing some attention to details. We would come back for sure!

The table and tv counter were sticky. Bath robes and towels felt old and rough. No shower cap. Tissues felt like paper.
