the room was a great size for our family of six. i usually need to book two rooms in other hotels. i appreciated the convenience of having us all together in one space the swimming pool was a hit with the kids.
i found the rooms to be somewhat outdated. there was some black mold around the bathtub. i expected a bit more from a hotel in this category.
