Cool, funny kids show

I was watching this show with my little cousin and it is a very funny kids show. The twins are so adorably cute, Maddie is such a sweetheart, London is kind of clueless but cool, their mother is really funny, and the hotel manager is really funny. The lifeguard is as dumb as anyone I've ever known but he's really adorable at the same time. Kids should watch this show because even though there's always something going on in the hotel, you'll always learn a lesson at the end of each episode. There happens to be something always going wrong but then they make everything right. I love watching this show even though I'm too old to be into it but everyone can enjoy it and relate to it at times. Even adults would find this really hilarious and I mean it! That's so Raven sometimes over exaggerates, Lizzie Mcguire is too good to be true, but Phil of the Future and The suite life are really great television shows. If anyone gets to see this....go right ahead and watch it. So I give it a thumbs up!!!
