Pros:

I like the design of the rooms. Plenty of space to put bags and nice size counter in bathroom. Breakfast is quite good and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Floors look like the construction was sloppy. Grout is spilled everywhere. Looks unfinished and not cleaned up. The first room we were given had mold in the tub because of a continuous, slow drip. We asked for another room, and the staff person gave it to us, but they almost acted like we were being picky. Traffic noise was quite loud. Seems like street racing was going on.

The pool was not warm! Slightly uncomfortably cold. Sadly we literally just stayed so our kids could go swimming.
