a swimming pool (somewhat small but still a plus) and a fitness room are nice add-ons

the fitness center was large and had ample space and a decent array of equipment

expensive bar, no outside alcohol rule to make you buy over priced drinks, fitness center wasn t very

we loved meeting for a daily hot breakfast and complimentary happy hour in the common area

plus lots of room for my kids to run

shuttle service was an amazing perk, the staff was great, the suite was very spacious and

breakfast was kind of low budget no bacon no biscuits and gravy

breakfast was good, until a kid was running amok and coughing and sneezing all over the buffet

beautiful property. huge rooms; we had a fireplace spa tub, and 50 in flat screen.

nicest staff, spa area and room

on-site fitness center was decent

pool area was over come by older kids and men jumping in the pool and screaming , and not really watching out for other

the handicap bar seemed broken too, but i didn't have a use for that anyhow

there were hundreds of soccer kids running the halls until after 1 am and no one did anything

rude staff hundreds of kids running halls at all hours being loud and when we told the desk they didnt

just mark the two bathrooms on first floor near pool as 'unisex' or something

the staff was friendly and we had good wifi

quick shuttle service to dsm airport
