The family room was a good size. clean, spacious, the beds were comfy. I was grateful for it. we all enjoyed our stay.
the keycard failed to open the door and had to be reprogrammed. this happened twice. it was a pain to have to return downstairs and over to another building with an entrance at the far side twice because of the keycard.
