Very friendly! The outdoor pool was nice. The only reason this is getting 4 stars is due to the lack of an elevator with a husband who is recovering from back surgery (and my 9 year old was very disappointed that our room didn’t have a towel dinosaur waiting for us in our room. Breakfast was amazing and complimentary!

The room and grounds were very clean and well taken care of. All of the staff were very nice and you could tell they were happy to be there. There were shutters for the window covers which were really nice because you could see that they were clean.
