Loved it.
Pros:

The front desk staff were amazing. The kids and I loved the pool. Breakfast was wonderful.

Cons:

When I tried to call the hotel to see if the pool was open, it took me 10 minutes of going through voice prompts and being directed to a messaging system. It would have been a 30 second phone call.
