I had a water leak in my room from an adjoining room. I was moved to another room on the 2nd level. Both rooms had improvements, but the property itself is old and it shows. Very convenient location to the town, and a place to sleep, that’s about all I can say about this hotel. Would look at other properties if ever in the area again.

In a 9 day stay they cleaned the room twice after asking for them to clean everyday. The rooms were very nice, big and remodeled. Housekeeping terrible, never came. Four bags of trash not taken away, towels changed twice in 9 days. Hotel is promising, cleanliness zero.

Conveniently located, grocery nearby, clean, comfortable. There was no ice section of the in room fridge so we couldn't freeze our reusable ice brick. Thr continental breakfast wasn't set up until after 7:30 and we wanted to get into the park early because of the timed entry requirement. 7:30 wasn't early enough for our tastes.

Front office is beautiful but deceiving. Room was ok, but floor and sheets seemed to be dirty. Found hairs and a few stains on sheets. Floor seemed to not have been mopped in weeks. Pool was closed, which was a main reason we stayed. Parking was good, maybe not a full night... breakfast wasn't worth looking. We got there early and almost everything was in a container, and milk and juices were empty with no one in sight to request.

Pool dirty with fences in common area, trash cans filled across entire property and never emptied during 4 day stay. Trash from room never emptied and toilet paper not stocked and empty tissue paper box. Bathroom floor blacked the floor towel and kids socks immediately turned black from dirty hard floors. On a positive note got to see our first Bear from their trash problem. Also very minimal breakfast. Only one chair for a family suite.
