Everything with check in and the room were awesome. In the morning however, no one could be found to check out. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

It was average. The hotel was being remodeled during our stay which was not a huge issue. Pool was great for the kids and room was a decent size. We didn't have enough towels in our room and the service was slow when going to the front desk.
