"Unfortunately the pool was closed for remodel which we didn’t know prior but the staff at the front desk was very helpful and let the kids have a treat as a conciliation. The shuttle was so convenient to have as a part of our stay so we could just enjoy our visit. Room was clean and it was nice they came in and brought fresh towels. Most places don’t even provide that anymore."
