The room was clean and the staff were friendly, my only issue was after the first day, my room key cards kept deactivating. Which was annoying. At first I thought it was from the magnet in my phone, but I had it reactivated one night, set in straight away on my dresser, then the next morning as I was went out for only a moment, they key didn’t work. And not just mine, but my husbands and Daughter’s card. Oh and a stranger walked into our room before dawn on our last night there. Thankfully they left right away.

It was great except the checking-in part which consisted of a very long line, hence a long check-in. There was only one person checking people-in and then a second came along and that did not help much. On a holiday weekend you should plan for lots of people!!!
