Our room, 119, was right acroos from the hotel laundry. You can hear the music from the lobby playing all night. One of the ceiling speakers is about 15 ft from room 119. We loved the pool area and the aminities , specially the grills to cook you own food. We definitely will consider staying there again.

McKenzie at front desk was rude and gave us the wrong room type. Suite was ok... dark and not very clean. We went to find dinner and couldn't find anything except a loud outdoor bar. What was worse was my daughter has dairy allergy and breakfast didn't have a single option not even alternative milk. That is totally unacceptable: Didn't realize property shares pools with three other hotels. We checked out early to stay elsewhere.

The hotel itself is okay and the room looks updated but I was still able to detect an old smell that I have experienced in the past with Holiday Inn. The bathroom is also very small. The plus for that particular hotel are the activities for kids. They had rock climbing, bungee jumping, and zip lining. They also played a movie by the pool which reminded me of how the pool areas are on Disney properties. Overall it was okay but I just hate an old smell in rooms and when the bathrooms are not updated.
