Parking was difficult with a van in the covered parking due to all the poles. They did have extra parking outside though so that worked out. Pool was small, not enough seating in the pool area. Not enough breakfast area seating. A crib that we didn’t ask for was randomly placed in our room. Breakfast itself was good. Staff was nice. Location very convenient to go to SeaWorld or get on the highway.
