All is good. Was disappointed water slide wasn’t available. We didn’t know it was only available on the weekends. But at least we know now. Otherwise very clean hotel.

Breakfast was good, and I really loved the 24-hour coffee and tea station. However, the room curtain was torn, which did not reflect a high standard. I also reported that the coffee pod holder and the in-room Keurig machine were dirty, but unfortunately no one followed up or checked the issue.
