The room was very large, clean and comfortable. It was nice to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The only flaw was parking. We were in the 2 story building in the back and 1 night we had to park in the front lot. We were also near the stairs which was very loud. My fault I should have asked for a room farther away from them, or to be put in the single story buildings.

Liked: Cleanliness
Love the affordability for a larger family. Loved that enough towels were in the room and there was no need to ask for extras. I would have liked black out curtains because the lights outside illuminated the whole room at night making it difficult to sleep. The walls were bare so a beach picture or two on the walls would have been nice. Other than that the stay was pleasant.

I liked how clean the room was and its pretty spacious, especially since it was only myself and my 2 kids. My kids liked using the pool and I like the fact that the room has a microwave. Only thing I didn't like was the heater/air conditioner had a weird smell when I turned it on. Other than that every else was great.
