The pool, especially the lazy river, was FREEZING. The breakfast was extremely limited and signs were posted ensuring guests only took one, to leave enough for others. Many items rang out fairly early in the morning. The staff was very friendly and helpful though.

The room was very dated. The stopper in the bathroom sink was broken and there was a plastic fork shoved into the pipe. Stopper for the bathtub also broken. Refrigerator wouldn’t work well. TV screen would freeze frequently. Hallway wreaked like cigarette smoke. Breakfast was lacking in options. The “fitness center” was a small hotel room with the flooring ripped up and one broken stationary bike and one treadmill in it. It was bad enough that the water park was closed, but every other aspect of the hotel was also incredibly disappointing.

We picked this hotel for the pool/ swim area. When we got there we were told the pool was closed due to maintenance. For the next 3 months. We were not told this when we booked, they were not caring when we checked in; when we said that's why we wanted to stay here. VERY UPSET. We have stayed here in the past and had no issues. But this time. Very disappointing.

The room was great. Our neighbors were smoking weed the day we left so unfortunately everything stunk. The breakfast was an added plus. Not much, but just enough. The pool was questionable but it’ll be closed for a while for maintenance. This place has a lot of potential.
