The room was nice, the amenities on site were great. I discussed with front office that there was visible mold in our bathroom and they did not acknowledge my statement or show any concern in any way. Their response was “Okay well you’re all set, have a good day”. Very dismissive and concerning, especially considering I am pregnant and traveling with small children!

Breakfast was good, not a lot of variety, but covered the bases. Was expensive but the per-person credit covered it for the most part. Pool was a little on the cold side (indoor). Hot tub was wonderful. The steps into both the pool and hot tub were quite steep, hard for my 80 year old mother to get in and especially out of.
