Overall we had a good weekend and we would stay here again!
Pros:

We liked the location and how clean it was.

Cons:

We booked a weekend to swim and do family pictures and enjoy a relaxing weekend. We ended up having to find other things to do because the pool was closed so that was disappointing

Loved! Best stay ever!
Pros:

We have stayed at a lot of places from the Midwest to Florida, Disneys Resorts, Marriott, Hilton, Embassy and so many more and this is by far the nicest hotel we’ve been too. From the parking lot to the room, the staff and the amenities. Everything was perfect.

Cons:

We have no complaints at all.
