Perfect for groups with kids!
We took a whole gaggle of middle school girls (a Girl Scout Troop) and the staff was remarkably tolerant of our shenanigans. They were polite and friendly to us and to our girls. We needed to set up "camp" in the breakfast nook to eat pizza and they offered us plates and napkins. They didn't have to do that. The pool and hot tub were clean and perfect after a day of city exploring. If you're traveling with kids of any age it's great - a little slide, buckets that dump water, and the pool gets deep enough to play mermaid. The hot tub was great for us olds. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot, and the breakfast spread was generous and the celiac among us even found things to eat.

The property was fine. Wish there had been more options for the breakfast. Like turkey options. My family and I don’t eat pork so that was all bad for us. We planned on eating before going to the zoo. Breakfast there would have held us over. Unfortunately we ended up buying food at the zoo.
