The room was clean. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! The swimming pool is excellent for kids as it isn't too deep. I noticed shuttle buses ran into town, though I did not use them.
The menu could use a little more variety.

a mixed bag of tricks, honestly

good parkingfilthy tilesnon-flushing toilet
the parking was good. i mean, it's a car park. not much to mess up there.
The family room was more like a broom closet. Barely any space for our luggage, let alone us. the bathroom was... questionable, with filthy tiles. Honestly, it seemed like a health hazard. and to top it off, the toilet wouldn't flush. seriously, a non-flushing toilet!
