My stay at the hotel was nice overall. The rooms were a bit dated but clean, and my kids had some skin irritation from the chlorine in the pools. The location was great for exploring the nearby attractions, but there were some issues with the dining options.

The game room was a fun bonus, although the door issue needed maintenance attention.
