The hot chocolate during this season was a great idea, especially for the kids. The only thing I did not like was that housekeeping was knocking on the door beginning at 9:30AM & checkout wasn’t until 11! But overall stay was great!

The people were very kind and helpful and breakfast was delicious. The room was cozy and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. There was a spot on the lounge chair that was questionable but that was my only concern.
