The rooms were nice and clean. But the conjoining room had a baby screaming all night long and the room on the opposite side of us was screaming and yelling at each other all night long. We had young children in our room who couldn’t sleep and we were afraid.

Birthday stay…

For just one night to relax for my birthday my stay was pretty good, a couple of the women staff especially if they’re at the front desk could be a bit more friendly but I’d stay again. The pool was open as well but I’m sad I forgot swimsuit, pretty decent up keep and it was clean.

Room was nice and clean. Some front desk staff were nice and helpful but there was one who was unhelpful and unavailable. I'd recommend making sure 3 or at least 2 staff are available during the check in rush at 4pm.
