Overall I enjoyed our stay and the pool was amazing
Pros:

The location was great! We walked to Paula Deans for dinner and walked to shops

Cons:

The room wasn’t cozy enough and the room door about takes you toes off every time it closes (way to hard) I loved that the cleaning staff came daily and replaced our towels with new and made the bed but forgot to leave new coffee pods and fresh mugs.

Pros:

We loved everything about the property! The location was fantastic. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance which was great. The room was very cozy. The pool/hot tub area were amazing! The whole vibe of the place was really cool! The staff was very nice.

A great place to come back to after seeing the sights.
Pros:

decor, breakfast, location (asked for a room away from next door roller coaster), bottled water in room, satisfied our request for first floor room, with walk in shower, due to spouse's disability, never made it to the pool due to schedule but would recommend to soften the entrance door, make it more inviting...(does not fit with the rest of the decor and looks like the entrance to a maintenance structure)

Cons:

location of shower head-too high for short people and poor pressure. put in adjustable showerhead or one with a flexible hose for shorter people/adjustable spray head would also be nice.

More tv channel selections.
