Hotel was great except that the pool was closed for renovation and Expedia did show that. The pool for our granddaughter was one of the reasons we selected that hotel. Otherwise it was very good.

The breakfast was ok, a bit lacking, but good. No pool or hot tub. Like all these chains, they are always in maintenance.
