On the whole property was good. One of the elevators was problematic and wouldn’t go to our floor which meant we would have to send it up for the other elevator to come down.

Loved the location, surrounding areas. Didn’t love wasn’t able to use the pool as guests because there was swim lessons happening. Did not feel like as a guest we were able to use the pool which was disappointing. If I knew there was private swimming lessons probably would have booked else where.
