The outside pool was down. The AC took awhile to cool the room. The room was not the same as advertised on the booking. The bathroom was not clean and the door did not lock. The bed was extremely hard. Would not recommend.

Very unpleasant

The AC in the first room we were given was not working which in 90° temps the room was not only hot but the smell was unbearable. The second room was not much better, it smelled awful but the AC was cold. Carpet was filthy … bath towels were very small and there were only two. One small packet of soap and one small shampoo was all the amenities the room offered. Outside noise was loud and continued almost all night. Traffic was really bad and it took quite a while just to exit parking lot. The pool was never clear and wouldn’t let children swim because it was gross. The restroom for pool area was not clean and had trash all over the floor. I now know why this room was reasonably priced and that is the only way they can lure unsuspecting families who are visiting on a budget. ITS NOT WORTH THE FEW DOLLARS YOU’LL SAVE.

The first room had no bathroom light, no phone in the room. The smell in the room was horrible. It took your breath. They switched my room however it was not much better. There was no chairs to sit in, only the bed which was not comfortable. The flat worn out pillows were horrible. The dirty bath tub . I will never stay in this place again and would never recommend it to anyone

You get what you pay for.

Went for the weekend and wanted to be to stay on budget. We chose this location bc of the pool areas and it was in a good location. Definitely recommend reading reviews. Pros: staff was very nice. The building looked good and checking in wasn’t bad either. They do have a good concept and good location. I did enjoy the simplicity of it and how laid back the environment was there. Also, the other guests were very friendly and down to earth. The fridge and microwave was very clean. Cons: the room could have used a little dining table or something in that sort so my children could have somewhere to sit down and eat instead of the beds and using the side table. Shower had no water pressure and wouldn’t stay a steady temperature. I almost burned myself and had to assist my children so they didn’t get burned by the water. Toilet struggled with flushing. I did find a dead roach MASHED into the wall. I cleaned it off the best I could but he really became one with the wall. (Glad I had Lysol and Lysol wipes) Never saw any live ones or anymore carcasses. Light fixture was showing junction box in bathroom. Beds wasn’t bad but they wasn’t that great either. Overall it was an average to low quality stay.

I have stayed here many times over the years, this stay was my first time since last year and I can say this property has went down hill. I will never be back. The pool was dirty- it was greenish; bugs, leaves, and the indoor slide had a broken beam- the property staff even after telling them about the broken slide they did not close/shut down the slide. The room my family and I stayed in smelt like dog pee and had three softball size holes in it. The shower did not work properly; no towels (even after requesting some; property staff told us; sorry they are dirty and ran out of laundry soap!!) The beds were nasty; another guest said she had been there 5 days and she had bites all over her arm/legs/feet- she said she is not sure what they are from… If you are still here I am sure you’re following me and know where the bites are from!! Needless to say we packed up prior to staying that one night; and had to buy another hotel- Riverchase would not offer refund- anything even after telling them the situation. Nothing was offered!! Had to come back and check out Sunday! If you want to do yourself and your family a favor; save your money and pay extra and enjoy your stay!! Pictures posted are a scam and fake!??

⭐☆☆☆☆ Longtime Guest Extremely Disappointed I have been coming to this hotel for over 10 years. It used to be a place we looked forward to every single year—clean, family-friendly, and well-managed. Unfortunately, the last two years have been a complete disappointment, and this most recent visit will be our last unless major changes are made. To begin with, the Wi-Fi did not work at all during our stay, which made it difficult to manage even basic things. We also had a serious leak in our room that left our entire floor soaking wet for all four days—completely unacceptable. On top of that, the slides, once a highlight of the property, were so damaged they were cutting kids’ feet. Several families had similar complaints. That’s a major safety hazard that should have already been addressed. Worse, one of the staff members falsely accused our girls of misbehavior in the pool area. Not only was it untrue, but the situation was handled in a very unprofessional and accusatory manner. The overall cleanliness of the hotel has gone drastically downhill, and it seems like standards across the board have dropped. I regret not reading the recent reviews ahead of time—it’s clear this property has gone from a 5-star destination to barely hanging on to 2 stars. I’m not someone who writes negative reviews often, but after this experience, I felt it was necessary. Until management steps up and tur

The night staff was extremely difficult, we traveled with family and had 3 rooms booked. We requested to be next to each other and were told the hotel is completely booked and they could not accommodate our request. Ended up with 1 family on 2nd story, 2nd family on the 3rd floor and the rest of us on the completely otherside of the property. The AC did not work in our room and asked to be moved, the front desk made smart remarks to me about checking if the unit was even plugged in, I told her I think the unit has a short and maintenance should take a look at the unit, she said, well did you look at it? She eneded up moving us to another room a few doors down. The next morning, we decided to leave early, we walked up to the 3rd floor where our family was at and noticed more then half the rooms were not being used. It was obvious because the curtains were open and beds were made in atleast 8 rooms on that floor. I understand that hotel is a little out dated and we expected that. But we didn't expect the poor service which make us not want to stay at the hotel again and would NOT recommend due to poor customer service/hospitality.
