Everything was very clean, the staff was pleasant and the pool is open till midnight! We didn’t get in till 10:00 pm so we were pretty happy about that! The snack options at the front desk were great. We got to breakfast a little later and there was plants of fresh food and it looked like we were the first ones there, it was so clean! Great visit!!

Overall a nice stay. My family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast both days was great and breakfast attendant did an excellent job of keeping things stocked & fresh. Felt things could have been a bit cleaner, especially the elevator (that was also extremely slow).
