This was my third stay at the plunge. The staff and customer service was topnotch. This was my only saving grace ... this time around. Unfortunately, management did not have a process in place to help manage the large amount of families with children there for sporting competitions. The children went unsupervised causing disruptions to other guests who were trying to enjoy the amenities, meals at the hotel or just trying to get to their rooms. Due to the holiday weekend, the hotel was very crowded. There was an altercation at the pool that resulted in management shutting it down, the guests asked to leave and the authorities to be called to the scene. This started because children were left unsupervised running around knocking and pushing guests.
