The staff were friendly. Check in was a breeze and the continental breakfast was good - waffle iron, eggs, sausage, a variety of pastries and bagels, yogurt and cereal. A staff person was always at breakfast - refilling as necessary which was great. The pool is small but centrally located and the kids loved it. However, the property was a bit run down. The pillows and bedding had stains on them. The room smelled like steamed broccoli. We found two nickel sized live spiders in our room and a bat was outside the laundry room for 2 nights.
