"Property was nice, overall. Staff were very friendly. A few areas were disappointing - some of the equipment in the fitness center wasn't working and, most significantly, the pool was not great. There were no towels in the pool area and, despite looking like it was inside on the photos, the pool and room are not heated. This made for a chilly swim and was not as much fun as we had hoped."
