Overall our stay was great but the pool area is a mess. The pool itself is awesome and provides a kiddie area. But, we weren’t able to use the pool area because of all of the bigger kids rough housing and splashing. I’m aware that it says to swim at own risk but there should be at least someone checking for wristbands. There were plenty of people in there that I know for a fact were not staying there. Overall the staff was friendly, the breakfast was good and our rooms were clean.

Not idea

The hotel was very nice however they are pet friendly and with that came a dog Next door barking all hours of the day and it took them a whole day to take care of the issue for the money we spent to stay we shouldn’t have to be woke up at night and early morning hours by a howling dog.
