Pros:

Location and friendly staff. Felicia the front desk and I forget her name, but she was handling the guest in the dining room. She always assured we were good. Please continue to take care of your staff and they will take care of your guest. There was a winter storm towards the direction our flight was heading so we had to leave a day earlier and good thing we did or our flights would be cancel. Your staff made sure we were good and explained the process with Booking and getting a partial refund. Thank you for your kindness and we will be back.

Cons:

The play area for kids had broken toys, but its okay
