Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Massive indoor pool with a lighthouse waterslide
- Tropical atrium with koi ponds and waterfalls
- Free parking and zero hidden resort fees
Hurtig oversikt: The atrium is a jaw-dropping oasis, but the rooms are dated and the echoing pool noise will test your sanity if you're trying to sleep early.
Gjennomgått av @mommycristinaknows: We stayed here for a quick family getaway and it was a total surprise. The indoor pool is basically a mini water park with a huge slide. Our room had a fridge and microwave, and the boys loved the arcade downstairs. It's the perfect, easy weekend trip with kids.

- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; comfortable beds but nothing luxurious.
- Odors & scents: A very strong, inescapable chlorine and chemical smell throughout the lobby and hallways from the massive indoor pool.
