Good breakfast with decent food. Coffee could have been hotter but used microwave to heat it up. Pool was just ok as the hot tub wasn’t working properly and the pool needs some better and cleaner water. Location was great for going to Adventureland. Our room was a bad location, to close to the lobby so a lot of late night noise.
