Fun and quirky property
This was a super fun property. We only stayed one night but I’d like to come back and spend a few days just experience the activities and amenities on site. The soaking pool was amazing but word of advice, bring an umbrella if it’s raining. The vibe of the property is fun and there’s something interesting to see in every direction. We didn’t make it to the theater but that will be for next time. We stayed in a king room in the English wing, and though the room was super small, it was cute and cozy. The bed was very comfortable, but the bathroom could have been cleaned better. Staff were really nice and very helpful.

Worth every penny
Such a fun place to stay and so convenient because unique restaurants and entertainment are built in. It's in a neighborhood area, so the rooms are quiet. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this location.
