Key cards never worked and the side entrances didn’t work which they knew about and haven’t addressed, making it more difficult to access vehicles and luggage. Pool and hot tub close at 9pm 10 would be better.

We stayed at this hotel for an overnight stay. The pool was perfect for my 8yr son. Bonus for the hot tub being positioned so I could relax a little and still keep an eye on him. Only negative we had was, none of the cardio machines had power. Instead of getting assistance we just did a dumb bell workout.
