My family only stayed for one night but we joined the rest of our family who were there and they had struggled the night before with flooding in the rooms. It was accommodating for our two small children, however having to travel to eat out was not a part of our plan and it made it more disappointing and will weigh on our potential visit next time

We've stayed here before as a family. We were disappointed with the new policies on the restaurant being 21 and over. So much business was lost by multiple people in our party. Had you opened that up to others. In addition, one of our six rooms was flooded by the rains that took place. Not only did it cause hardship for my sister's family, it was also terribly inconvenient being that there were no sandbags or blockades to address the water in that area. But in other areas of the first floor you had sand bags. Although the staff, especially the young Hispanic gentleman who helped us move was kind, it was unnecessary and could have been avoided. Big changes would need to happen for our families to return, sadly.

Room was very clean, but I did miss not having a microwave in the room. I know they charge an additional five dollars to have one put in your room which I think is kind of silly and I didn’t know about it till after the fact, but the people are very friendly and very nice and very helpful.
