Tell any kid that they’ll be staying at a hotel with a swimming pool and their bags will be packed before you finish telling them where you’re going! A pool somehow makes their stay even more magical and relaxing—get ready for lots of splashing and shrieks of laughter.
Located just minutes from the Avalon Mall and Kelsey Drive shopping area, the Fairfield also offers Netflix and YouTube guestroom entertainment. The pool area has seating in case you run out of energy before the kids do, and the water slide is top notch.
Rates starting at $109Fresh and modern, the Hampton keeps it family friendly. Large windows encircle the pool deck making the space bright and playful.
Rates starting at $89Located centrally, Holiday Inn is a trusted brand for great reason. A water slide adds extra fun to the pool experience, and East Side Marios is right on-site to quash that post-swim hunger.
