The good: Very helpful staff. Great location and dining options. Quiet. Clean. The not quite as good: The mattress was not comfortable and bed creaked if you moved. The pool lights stay on all night and even on the 4th floor, with the blinds closed, they illuminate the room.

Play this is my go to location, but I’ve had issues with the quality in the air and this day was not so great whereas the fire alarm went off two separate hours for at least 20 to 30 minutes when everyone had to go out but upon reading reviews, this happens occasionally And I had my autistic son with me so that really gave him a scare
