The staff were very courteous and checked us in from mobile phones due to a power outage. We were going to eat dinner next door but they were also out of power. Found a restaurant but it was difficult to return to hotel due to road closures. We had hoped power would be restored but it never was. We had been looking forward to the hot tub. Too tired to look for different accommodations.

I’ve stayed there multiple times and this was the worst stay by far. Unsupervised young children were allowed to yell and scream until 3am. It was hard to believe that the hotel staff didn’t do more about it.

Very good stay.

Everything was good. Average hotel experience. We did have a problem with a broken doorknob but nothing too crazy. The layout was weird though. To get to the pool is a very long walk from our room we stayed in, unless we just took the long way…? The pool was amazing and big and the hot tub was awesome with the water feature. My first expert on a sauna, went well! Very good stay though. Probably wouldn’t stay again just because we like to try other places. No regrets otherwise.

The first night we stayed was fine The second night we ended up leaving before midnight because there were some kids running up and down the hall screaming and knocking on all the doors and calling the front desk did no good. The did absolutely nothing about it. I feel like if I pay to sleep in a room I should be allowed to sleep The breakfast they served in the dining area was great though
