“What struck me about this resort is its focus on family comfort, evident in the interconnected rooms and dedicated children's playground, plus the convenience of having an Asian restaurant right on site. While the location provides quick access to shopping centers, reports of maintenance and noise issues give me pause. It seems a refresh could restore this property to its former appeal.”
