Good stay
Pros:

The staff was very friendly

Cons:

The main elevator was broken so we had to walk a ways to the other elevator. Also the pool color was grayish green so my kids didn't even want to swim

Pros:

Terrible. Toaster doesn’t work. Microwave opened to warm up food, then door wouldn’t open to take out. Warmer handle broken that contained cold eggs. One coffee pot empty. The only thing that worked was the waffle machine.

Cons:

Our card to the room didn’t work. We were locked out and management had to come show us how to open the door, but theirs didn’t work because the batteries needed replaced in the door.
