8/10 Good
"I was so impressed by how clean the rooms were! and overall the hotel is well maintained.Fully stocked with towels, the double queen room is very spacious. Staff goes above and beyond. It’s a beautiful hotel, in the perfect location. The only complaints are in regard to the pool. I was booking alongside a friend and we had our kids, so the pool was a big reason we booked. It looks huge online and it is very average if not small in real life. It felt like an apartment sized pool, with probably 100+ loungers and many people. Of course while we just arrived to the very busy pool area, a kid vomited inside and they shut it down for a few hours. So we did not get to experience the pool at all and it was almost 100 degrees outside. Thankfully there was a splash pad that our little kids enjoyed. There’s also a shaded area to sit with ping pong tables and cornhole."
