The room and the food were good. The staff was very welcoming and nice towards the children and me. However, The pool/sauna area/hot tub seems to be outdated. There was white solid material floating in the hot tub. The sauna looked rig with tape holding wires together. The pool rope was broken. The pool noodles had bite marks are over them that seem unsanitary.

So check-in was great. Room was clean and in good shape, but beds were soft and lighting was a little less than you would normally habe. When I went to open drapes for more.light, it revealed a full doorwall overlooking an interior hallway, not the outside. This was extremely strange for a 1st floor room and should be told to guests on check in.
