The sides consisted of watery Mac and cheese and pork and beans with some cornbread. No drinks were included so drank water. No dessert was included it was however was advertised to purchase on the back of the bathroom stall doors. Rushed thru dinner for show…..tried to take my tray 2 or 3 times.”

The swim stop wasn’t great if you specifically want to swim but it’s fine for what it it. The only negative was the security got very aggressive with one of my friends when she was trying to find the rest of the group, swearing and pushing her.”
