9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
It was a very nice hotel, clean rooms and beds were comfy but the pool was cold and the tile in the pool area was awful. My 4 kids and I walked in and my 8 year old slipped just walking (luckily didn’t fall) and my 5 year old went to get out of the pool and slipped, fell back and hit the back of her head. She was fine thank goodness. The pool was a disappointment since I have 4 small children (10,8, 5 and 4) that look forward to that part of staying in the hotel.

The staff was very nice and we were able to get a roll away bed at no extra cost which was nice. The breakfast was a hot breakfast with biscuit and gravy, sausages, eggs, and of course a waffle maker.
