Okay for a place to sleep.

I selected this hotel because it indicated that there was an indoor pool, which my kiddo was very much looking forward to. The pool area was outdoors and closed for maintenance. Clean enough. Excessive on the dated dinosaur motif. It was a place to sleep, but I wouldn't choose it again for an adventure with my kids.

We really enjoyed the dinosaur-theme of the hotel. Breakfast was good with nice options for kids and adults. The room was comfortable, but a little noisy, being right next to the stairs. There isn't an elevator - which might be a deal-breaker for some. The main reason we cut our stay from two nights to one, was because the pool and hot tub were closed. The fantastic reviews about the pool and hot tub were the only reason we chose this property, so we were really bummed, after 6 miles of walking, to find that it was closed. Don't count on Hotels.com to have up to date info on the hotel amenities...call the hotel and make sure everything you're looking forward to is up and running before you book!
