Pros:

First the pool was closed. I understand things break, just disappointing, we found leftover fast food containers in the room. There was only 2 towels in the room, which the were more than willing to have us come get more. So for a one or two night fishing trip, it’s fine. Bringing wife and kids, I think there is better options
