Overall decent with a few complaints

Overall nice hotel, pool was much smaller than we expected based on the photos. Kids still had fun. My little boy got burned in the shower because the water was scalding hot, even on the cold water side. We didn’t have enough pillows and called the front desk 3 times and texted the number we were given if we needed anything and we got no response. The heater/AC unit made a loud noise all night . Breakfast was decent. Overall clean and served its purpose.
