The staff was courteous and knowledgeable. Our room was clean and modernized. Pool and hot tub were open. Breakfast was good with coffee, juices, waffles, cereal, bagels and yogurt among other things. They do a nice job. It's a great spot for bringing the kids, a great value, and we would stay here ...
