Nice. But no breakfast.
It’s a very nice hotel. The pool has been redone and is much better but changing rooms pretty average. Public areas nice. But. No breakfast at a hotel like this is absolutely outrageous. They offer a bag of bread to toast yourself in your room.

Dated
The place was nice but dated. If you order breakfast, know in advance that they bring you a packet of coffee, not a pot of coffee. We already had free packets of coffee in the room. They did remove the $3.50 charge when I asked them to, although not happily.

Great Property
Overall this was a great property. The 1br suite was large and well equipped. The kids loved the two large pools and ping pong room. The location was great and service was exceptional. Highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer.

Exactly as described. We loved our junior suite and the bed was perfect. Big roomy bathroom a plus. Nice toiletries and decent fluffy towels.
