Loved the pool and the room was good. The lobby and dining area were under renovation so it was pretty grubby.

It was a great place to stay with updated rooms. The photos online make them look dated but they're not. Be mindful that they still have construction going on and they had private swimming lessons in the evening which was slightly annoying for us because this was a staycation and my kids looked forward to swimming. They still got to but the lessons took up a lot of space and they tried to block off the slide. Overall, the stay was good!
