8/10 Good
"Really enjoyed our stay. Room was clean & balcony was well maintained. Although we did not use the pool & hot tub due to bring @ the water park all day both looked beautiful and clean. Definitely a cool perk is they are open 24/7 as is the sauna & work out room. Poolside bar and grill available as well as a scoops ice cream. Free continental breakfast and a breakfast buffet u can eat for $7.99 and u get a bogo coupon on check in. Only downside was with multiple buildings and entrances it was difficult to figure out your correct entrance from the back lot."
