Love the pool. Plenty of sitting options (lounge chairs & tables). The water is clean and feels great. The bathrooms don’t appear to have been cleaned in some time. We got here as they opened and there were roaches and other types of bugs in floor.

My kids and I had a great time Monday we decided to come back Tuesday with my dad. And at $5 for adults 12 and up and $4 for kids from 11-5, you can't beat it. Especially in this heat. We will definitely be back more this summer.
