Request a room in the Continental or Americana wings as these have air-conditioned interior hallways that connect to the lobby and common areas,—a welcome advantage in the heat of the summer.

Frommer's "You’ll find 600 family suites with kitchen areas (microwave, no stove) that sleep six somewhat tightly, two on a sofa bed. The music never stops in the two ginormous pool areas" Full review
