The staff is unhelpful. The walls are almost paper thin. We could hear everything what was said next door and in the hallway. We asked to be moved. The room we had faced the parking lot. The rest of the room faced the moutains or trees. The manager told me to take or leave. They dont sell scenery. If we wanted to leave they would charge us anyway.

Bed bugs

Horrible and Disgusting BED BUGS!!! Me and my 2 children checked in July 3rd for a fun vacation when my daughter woke up freaking out with bed bugs, bites, and blood spots all over her sheets!! The head house keeper was very apologetic but when it came to the front desk supervisor/manager a tall lady with long brown hair and glasses (so rude never told me her name!) When we finally made it to the front desk she could be bothered to get up from her desk and was speaking through an employee!! The audacity of that women!! I am a single mom with 2 kids in another city and of course they have no other rooms that's to be expected on a holiday weekend but not an ounce of compassion. Almost $550 l have to wait 3-5 business days to get back!! I have 2 kids upset because we have to head home from a vacation that was planned over a month ago. Only thing she offered was a free dinner at the restaurant that we had to leave from at the hotel and the already FREE amenities!! I didn't have another $500 to fork out to go somewhere else!!! Could have offered us a voucher for tubing or anything! I had to leave behind MY OWN pillows, blankets, and some clothing because of the bugs and that rude lazy front desk supervisor couldn't have cared less!!! Awful and gross behavior!!
