"Room was clean. 24/7 Coffee, Tea and hot cocoa bar was an excellent addition especially fighting a cold. We were told room would be serviced every other day but was actually cleaned every day we were there. Breakfast had a great assortment of food and never ran low. Bed was comfortable, bedding smelled good and clean. The pool area had cabanas along with plenty of places to relax and tables to eat on. Overall it was a great stay. Perfect for what we needed. "
