Stay somewhere else.
Pros:

nothing

Cons:

pool was cold and small lots of children who weren't very kind to my child... breakfast was AWFUL eggs were overcooked and dry ... bagels were soggy, and everything was stale. You can tell nothing was fresh and even the yogurt tasted off. The location is okay but it's a city that's pretty slum like and I wouldn't say it's a good destination.
