The best hotel I have stayed in by far. Worth every single penny the amount of activities they have for the kids included and everything you might need right in the property no need to even go anywhere else. I will definitely book with them again and again. In love with the hotel. Dunkin, restaurant, Ice cream shop, pizza shop, build a bear, rock climbing so much I can keep going. Don’t think about it twice just book.
