Convenient location/ all the things you need
We stayed in a suite and would do it again. Nice having the extra space with kids. Pool was good enough for the kids. Coffee/tea/hot chocolate available all day/evening and nice since they swam at night and we needed it to stay warm. Nice to have tables next to the pool so the adults had a place to sit play games. We didn’t use the kitchenette in the room, but if we need it next time we will. Location next to fast dining establishments couldn’t be more perfect. We got our water bottles refilled at the gym in the hotel. Breakfast was fabulous and had something for everyone. Would 100 percent come back again.

Handicapped Access Nightmare (Extra Cost)
Our stay was very disappointing because we paid extra for a handicapped suite and it was not well-equipped for someone in a motorized wheelchair with little mobility. The toilet was too close to shower/cabinet that it was impossible to get scooter close enough to the toilet to transition over. This meant needing extra assitance. Plus the bed was so high that I could not get into it from wheelchair and had to sleep on the sofa. Horrible experience overall and paid extra for a handicapped room. You should consider evaluating your rooms for mobility AND should not charge more for services that are not up to standards.
