Health Hazard

Our room had water damage in the ceiling. It smelt horrible/unhealthy in there. Very humid and sticky. Bed had boogers on the blankets. They had no additional rollaway beds OR any pillows or any additional blankets. We could hear EVERYTHING in the hallways. The air conditioner was very loud and made a bad noise all night long. The pool area was very slippery and had no towels. I should have honestly left. When we finally got to sleep (3 am due to noise, we went to bed at 10:30), we woke up in the morning feeling like we smoked an entire pack of Marb Reds (none of us smoke) . Everyone’s lungs felt really heavy from the humidity or whatever else was in the air….. I won’t ever be returning. Also, they charge $100 for “incidentals” on top of the room charge. I wonder if I should send them a bill for the hospital bills I might accrue if this stuff doesn’t clear out of our lungs from staying here.

Good Stay but not exactly what was expected.

Our family enjoyed our 1 week stay in two of the suites. I had requested adjoining suites but was told they were not available at check-in. Hotel is conveniently located to visit family in the area and we also enjoyed the water park over the weekend. There is a nearby shopping and dining options. Beds were comfortable, but expected more of a kitchenette in the suites with a table to eat at. Had to go to the front desk for information multiple times. There was no information provided at check-in, and nothing in the rooms regarding the hotel, location of amenities (ice machines, gym, 2nd floor outdoor patio), nor anything about schedule for the complementary breakfast (only available on certain days) and waterpark (limited hours/days). Would also suggest the hotel provide information on nearby conveniences.

Our suite was definitely not as advertised or what we paid for; two dorm fridges stacked on top of each other, toilet broke, lost hot water, beds pretty hard, and the internet had to be restarted each night around 10pm. However, staff were friendly and responsive. They fixed what broke and moved a bigger fridge in. They comped breakfast as we prepaid and they could not take money off. The waterpark is always fun.

Kids loved the pool! I wish they had more time, but I had received an email saying the pool was not open so we didn’t hurry to the hotel. When we did arrive they only had 30 minutes left and the pool was in fact open. I suggest calling the hotel directly to check as the email may be incorrect. Beds were a little hard, but the rooms were very spacious.
