Hotel has lots of flaws, staff are wonderful as was the park.
Pros:

The staff were all wonderful. Really made such a lovely effort to speak with and make our kids feel at home.
Jurassic newpark was amazing, so much for little ones to explore.

Cons:

Nice reception area but very dated couches / carpets smelled. Our room was very stuffy no air conditioning and windows that were sealed shut only allowing a small crack. Fans were available in the room but extremely noisy and still uncomfortably hot, not ideal with little babies in the room. Did not sleep well for the entire stay. For the price we paid for this hotel you would expect more, the included breakfast was also terrible.
