"We had a great time: room was comfortable and clean, pool area is super nice, great location close to restaurants. Only issue was that we hired a baby cot, and we paid $10 per night for it and when we arrived the baby cot was not set up. We have to open it ourselves and figure out how to put it together, which was very disappointing."
