Pros:

Great complimentary breakfast.

Cons:

There was a family with small kids around a fire pit outside our room at 11pm being loud. Called the front desk and the issue was resolved. Not sure why a fire pit was on at 11pm anyways!

Pros:

Breakfast was good- lots of options. The staff were very nice- front desk and especially the breakfast attendants. The suite was spacious and clean. Also, the pool area was clean, the water was refreshing and it wasn't super crowded.

Cons:

Our front door to our room was probably painted recently because it stuck and you had to throw your shoulder in to it to open it (more funny than anything really) and the toilet on the main level developed a little leak but we let the front desk know about it.
