The room was very clean and cozy. I didn't spend enough time in the hotel to get a feel for the rest of it, but the bartenders were friendly.

Great breakfast and location to strong museum. Pool was cloudy and had to shut down one day during day time. although 4 year old had great fun and made friends. Bunk bed not comfortable, bunk bed room very tight not a lot of space for 2 and 4 year old to move around.
