"The room and area were clean. However, there were some things that needed to be fixed and maintained in the room. The toilet paper holder was barely hanging on to the wall. The staff kept the grounds and pool area well clean and maintained. They were all very friendly and kind. Enjoyed the close location to the food hall. The breakfast could have more options, especially for food allergies."
