We stayed with 2 young kids and it was great for that! Being a long weekend ,there were a ton of families there. The pool was key, especially in the winter, and was quite busy with lots of kids, but adequate. The pool is on the smaller side, no shallow end. Great views from the pool! Both times we went there were no pool towels available, but did find 2 in the changing area. The rooms are small-ish but fine. Nice shower. Beds comfortable enough. There is no fridge in the room. Nice views from our room of the city. Even though there were many kids in the hotel, hall noise was minimal! The front desk staff was very nice. We were able to leave our luggage with the valet after we checked out, which was so helpful while we visited the aquarium (2 mins away!) and ate lunch. The location can't be beat! Would recommend !
