My family had a mixed experience at the hotel. While we enjoyed the spacious rooms with kitchen amenities, we encountered issues with cleanliness and the aggressive timeshare sales pitch. The location is convenient for visiting nearby attractions, but it was frustrating to have our vacation interrupted by a lengthy sales meeting. Overall, it offered decent accommodations, but it wasn't without its drawbacks.
