Pros. Stayed here twice. Once with family, once by myself for business. Good for both. The remodel looks great...the pools in the center (2 pools...one for adults and older kids...and one zero level pirate pool playground for little kids...divided with a gazebo so adults weren't overrun with little kids and vice versa...very nice set up) was heated and open till 11pm...completely surrounded with lush trees...felt very secluded even though our room was directly overlooking the pool. Not too crowded, but seemed to have a full booking...so nice. All the rooms had a fridge, microwave, hair dryer and coffee pot. The exterior is like any other hotel/motel in that area not fancy...but not that big of a deal. Parking lot is well lighted...had some construction...but that is to be expected for renovations...and was the cheapest hotel in the area by far!

Cons. The breakfast is horrible...I Love continental breakfasts!! the bad and the good ones...i just love them...but not this one! The dining room was gorgeous...but the actual food was not good at all...the "mechanisms" to dispense cereal, bagels, eggs etc...were clean but didn't function well...so cereal and food got everywhere. They would have done much better with prepackaged individual breakfast items and bagels. It's a buffet that seems to have been set up by someone who has no idea how the flow of a buffet should go...people scrambling all over the place because plates and cups and silverware were not really anywhere near the foods and bowls weren't near the cereal...which was also at the opposite end of the dining room as the milk...drink machines were oddly placed in the middle of food lines so that you had to cut through the drink line to finish going through the food line...very poorly planned. EVERY THING else was great...just eat breakfast somewhere else.
