I think that check out should be at 11am and check in 3pm. I would suggest for those who have a late flight, have some sort of changing area with a shower so that those who hang around waiting and use amenities such as pool and freshen up before headed to airport.

Most of the staff were very nice. The place was a time share vacation resort, we did not buy into the time share. This made the stay feel a little weird after.

I’ve stayed here many times and it’s always very clean and the front desk staff is super nice and friendly. The food at Delaneys tavern is great and it’s always fun when they have a movie or game showing on the big screen outside.
