Nice rooms, though a little annoying they were putting most people on the first floor, stacking them right on top of each other when they could have easily spread people out. Breakfast was awesome made to order omelets, fresh fruits, waffles, doughnuts, muffins you name it they pretty much have it. Nice indoor pool & hot tub. They had an ice cream bar while we were there that also had pizza & wings.
