Our room and service was lovely!
Cons:

It was supposed to be a get away and be relaxing with my husband and spend the day in the hot tub and we were not told when booking and checking in that the hot tub was broken. And the sauna rooms are located in only the female and men’s locker rooms so we could not even spend time together.

My kids loved the pool and how it wasn’t very deep.
Pros:

The location and room was nice.

Cons:

Staff didn’t inform me about the free parking my package came with and I didn’t get my breakfast coupons. I wasn’t even told about breakfast coupons until check out.

Pros:

I liked that it was close to van andal arena and you can take a sky bridge straight to it. Also the fact I could keep my car in their parking until 4pm after our checkout was absolutely amazing. Not having to go out and find parking for our event was perfect.
