Take the hot tub off the advertising lol.

It was decent. The room was nice, the kids enjoyed the pool. I was disappointed that it still advertises a hot tub. My wife really enjoyed the hot tub when we stayed in the past and it did not show that it had been removed. Otherwise it was a nice stay.

Family time

Everything was great. The only thing I would recommend is getting the pool chemicals in order. The water was a little cloudy, you could smell how strong the chemicals are as soon as you step in the building. The next day my 7 year olds eyes were swollen from all the chemicals. I did not allow him to swim before we left and the swelling went down the next day.
