The property was nice but you can tell it definitely needs some upgrades. Also we were not aware that the pool was public - so that was a bummer for us as it got busy and full FAST. It was like there weren’t really any perks of staying there if the public could do everything I could do as a paying guest. The room was nice but there was an odd smell and we found old flower petals or something from the previous guests under the tv stand in our room. The staff was friendly and did upgrade us for free when we got there - so we loved that - overall our trip was great but I am not sure if we’d come back.

I hate to leave a bad review because overall the property, restaurants and majority of employees were amazing. However, the room we got stuck with was 697 and it was ROUGH. I thought I seen online it was renovated in 2023. This room had the instant smell of must and probably mold. The ceiling had a crack that ran almost the length of the room and it was black in color. The balcony was infested with spiders. The A/C would not cool the room below 73 until maintenance came twice. All they did was move the couch so it had better airflow. Still wouldn’t cool below 70. I asked for a new room several times but was never offered during our 5 night stay. The worst part is, they came and spray painted the black moldy crack instead of getting us a new room.
As good as it gets. Even when maintenance admits they set their own thermostat to less.
Ceiling crack moldy looking around the crack. This is after the spray paint job.

AC did not work in first room. Moved to another room that was only accessed by stairs. We had a lot of luggage which made this really difficult. The common walkways inside the hotel were dirty. Saw the same trash on the floors for the three days we were there. The rooms had spiders, possibly brown recluse, everywhere. The only good part was the entertainment options like the bowling alley, arcade, pools, and billiards. I will not be staying here again though.

I enjoyed the festivities and very family oriented. I did not enjoy parking, however it was great that there was always someone driving a cart to pick you up. I did not like the check-in; very unorganized; rushed and I had to figure out everything on my own. I honestly had an amazing time; I will go back.

Overall the property was ok. Granted it was very busy during the 4th. The rooms could use some updating. The wi fi was so so. Could use some premium packages offering on the TV. The biggest thing is that if you are older, this is not an easy property to maneuver. It has lots of steep hills and lots of stairs to handle . The parking is also limited and in some areas hard to park.
