Accommodations Review:
|
Standard Holiday Inn type room in regards to size
and decor. Couple of really nice features: 1. the sink area had
doors to close it off from the beds - I love this feature, it
means the kids can sleep while I'm getting ready. 2. Small fridge
and microwave in room. The maid service wasn't the best - beds
made and fresh towels - that was pretty much it (the trash wasn't
emptied daily). We did request extra pillows and they were
delivered promptly. |

|
$50 per night w/3 night minimum (plus tax) |
# of Restaurants/Lounges:

2 plus a Coffee Shop |
Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
We didn't spend much time in the main lobby - for
one major reason. They have a seafood buffet nightly and well...
the whole place smelled. |
Activities/Facilities Available:
|
Pool, Hot-Tub |
Pool Description/Comments:
|
Very good pool - actually there were 3 pools. The
pool closes to our building (5) was excellent. The pool was Mickey
shaped and one of the ears was the deep end - with a depth of 7 or
8 ft. The other ear was the shallow end - approximately 2 - 3 ft.
My kids really loved this pool. The hot tub was in the same area
and it was your nice, basic hot tub. |

We split our time between on-site and off-site this
trip to maximize our vacation dollars. I felt this was a bargain.
My kids (14 and 8) loved the pool and I loved the hot tub - I
could see the kids in the pool and the laundry room from it -
perfect :) I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. In all the only
down side was the fishy smell in the lobby. |
