We arrived 30 minutes early for check in. Our room was not ready yet. Understandable. We were told we would be notified as soon as it was ready. At about 4:20 I returned to the desk. The room was still unavailable so they offered a room on 2nd floor. It was about as far down the hall as possible. Not pleased!

I went for one night during daylight savings. Told front desk that will check out late at exactly at noon but housekeeping knocking at the door at 11:02am and opened the door after two knocks. I didn’t answer since I was sleeping and had to get up told her I have the heads up already that we are going to be late check out. I’m a little pissed but I guess I should have put “DND” outside the door. But overall, great hotel to stay around the area compared to other areas if you’re in budget.

The staff was very nice. The rooms were spacious. The indoor waterpark looked fun, but it made every inch of the hotel very humid and smell like a chlorine bomb went off. I’m really sensitive to chlorine/bleach smells, so it was challenging to be in my room.

This is maybe just a FYI to anyone looking for an over night stay with Grandkids and it will probably sound like I’m a “Karen” The amount of kids and parents in the pool area was insane! I get it, the advertising of a great pool area seems a no brainer right, it’s going to attract families with kids. But it was like a bunch of feral cats! Kids were everywhere with little supervision. I’m sure when I was younger and had kids that age I would have loved the setup with kids in the pool, adults drinking in the corner giving feeling of safety that you knew you could have fun while your kids had fun. But if you’re now a Grandparent hoping to give your Grandkids a good time while you’re visiting a family member in the hospital, it’s a miserable experience! Granddaughter was trampled on going down the slide by a group of boys and she is 8 , but we watched little kids get splashed and shoved on their slide turn by a group of 8-12 year old boys. The hot tub was flooded with little kids while parents visited and drank. Kids hung on the basketball hoop as we watched it bend. Our 12 year old Granddaughter refused to get in the pool because of the amount of kids. We had kids running up and down our hall until about 1030 pm for which I told them twice to stop and find their parents. As a positive note, the room was very clean, hotel desk staff friendly, and breakfast was good. I however would not stay again for the fact of it seemingly being a party place for parents and unsupervised kids.
