serviceable stay overall
pool slidekids centerbowling alleyrestaurant servicedirty dishesstaff shortage
the pool slide was a hit with the kids. the kids center was also a great place for them to spend some time. the bowling alley provided additional entertainment in the evenings.
the restaurant looked understaffed. dirty dishes sat on tables for extended periods after guests left. this issue was noticeable during dinner breakfast and in the lounge bar.
The breakfast buffet offered many options. I found the pool and slide area nice!
I booked a suite hoping to use the kitchen. Upon arrival, I discovered dirty dishes from previous guests were in the dishwasher. The lamp above the table only had one working bulb. I reported it, but no one replaced it.
