I wish I had been told in advance that there was construction going on , the letter in my room after I drove 5 hours didn’t help. . The windows of my room were wrapped in plastic the one full day I was there. Room service never came even though we left out the sign on the door. The steak house ended up being closed, nice if I knew that in advance too. I picked the wrong time to go, there was a group they took over the fire pit area and my daughter and I could not use the area to melt the smoores being offered. Starbucks looses nice, Murphy beds needs help, falling apart. We found a nice golf spot, Elm Tree, liked it better than Willowbrook set up. I usually do not so reviews, the place is clean, we picked the wrong few days to go

It was ok

The building is pretty - a ski resort in the winter. But the room itself was just ok. It wasn't super clean and the beds were uncomfortable. But it did have a kitchen and most of the necessities... pots, pans, dishes. If you want to make your own coffee, bring your own coffee filter.

Overall, it was a great experience. The property especially near the swimming pool needs to be cleaner. I found a chipped nail there. The kitchen was great but it would help if a kettle was added. The room was quiet and comfortable. The hot tub and pool hours for the hotel was very short and we couldn’t make it most days as it shut down at 7 pm. The hot tub needs to be open after hours. The waterpark had lifeguards everywhere which was great. The property had scenic views and opportunities to walk. We loved the cleanliness of the property and helpful nature of the staff.
