This is a very nice property. Lots of pools with slides and splash pads for the kids. It is fairly expensive and I would have thought that they would include activities for the kids. Went to make slime with my granddaughter and it was $20. Felt nickel and dimed. Room could have been cleaner. Small details were overlooked. Dust on the light fixtures, found a bra behind the dresser. Received lots of pressure to attend a sales meeting which we did just to receive some tickets to the zoo. Hard to get out of there. You need to be able to say no over and over.

Property is nice. A couple of issues - no shower curtain (had to request one) - bed not properly made (bottom sheet was too short for bed, 6 inches of mattress showing at foot of bed), dirty spatula left on top of fridge. Runner who brought us a shower curtain was excellent!!! Decent accommodation just had a few issues that are staff related. Stayed here previously and had no issues.
