We had a nice room with space for the kids. The pool is heated and fun to play in- the spa was broken. Breakfast was nice with a big room and some adults tolerate kids at this hotel. Not exactly a family hotel, but we only encountered one grumpy old lady. Not sure why older people hate kids so much at these types of hotels. We mostly found it fine for our kids to be kids. The location is okay. There is a market and some quick food places nearby. We could easily drive to our planned destinations. The parking garage is great, since there is little parking in the area. It is not secured, but we felt safe and had a fun vacation/gym comp travel experience.
