"Fine stay, clean room although air conditioner didn’t work great. And there were children in the pool area unattended by any adult who were very very loud despite it being almost 11 PM and were rough housing and diving into the pool and climbing on top of the slide which was obviously not allowed and in and out of the hot tub they were obnoxious and multiple individuals made comments to them, but it didn’t help. I should have gone to the front desk."
