The check in was incredibly slow apparently a lot of mix ups and errors earlier in the days any time you stay when a travel ball team is there it can be rough. The noise was louder later in the evening we had to be gone by 4am didn’t appreciate you could hear the noise from other rooms and in the hall and the pool was overly congested with the kids
