"Clean and cozy. Very family friendly. Our room was in the atrium above the dining/lounge area. The noise was fairly loud during peak breakfast/dinner hours, understandably. Something to keep in mind."
"We got to the property and the room we were put in smelled like pet urine so I requested another room and the front desk person was accommodating. The next room was fine one suggestion is to not shut off the ac in the rooms entirely as it was very warm in there."
