Pros:

The staff was great! It was perfect for the night.

Cons:

The renovations that were under construction were a little eerie... no signage, etc. The price could/should have been a little less given the current renovations.

Nice bed, good disability supports in bathroom.
Pros:

The bed was excellent and the sheets very soft and comfortable. The front desk gal was super when I checked in.

Cons:

There were NO TOWELS in the bathroom, except for 2 hand towels...
The front desk gal was great when I checked in Saturday. But, the gal Sunday morning was not courteous when I got there at 9:05 and she was putting the breakfast stuff away. I asked her about it and she said b'fast was over at 0900, but the paper I was given said 0930 on weekends. She put stuff back out but not graciously and had to come back to turn on the juice dispenser and again for the waffle makers.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Hoping they make some small changes and it would be the perfect spot.
Pros:

Location was great. And staff was awesome. We absolutely loved the pool.

Cons:

We were first put in a room that I think hadn’t been used for awhile as there were many spiders and webs all over in there. Also our ac barely worked and it was over 90 degrees over there that weekend. We loved the pool but it was a bit too cold. We saw and talked to other people staying there and they all said it was too cold for them. Doors and key card readers were a bit of a pain too.

Didn’t eat it

The staff were very uncooperative when we asked the to send us a suit we left there. We were happy to pay all expenses but the staff wouldn’t budge. No help at all.
