Elevator out of order

First day there. The elevator wouldnt come down to the first floor unless it was sent down by someone up stairs. So we had to walk up stairs. Normally i wouldnt mind but hubby had knee replacement surgery and its hard for him . The next morning they did put up a elevator out of order sign up .

Very clean

We had a great stay. The room was very clean and spacious. The only negative was being told we couldn’t hang out in the lobby with family we only see once a year.

Everything was very clean, the staff was pleasant and the pool is open till midnight! We didn’t get in till 10:00 pm so we were pretty happy about that! The snack options at the front desk were great. We got to breakfast a little later and there was plants of fresh food and it looked like we were the first ones there, it was so clean! Great visit!!
