This place is very dirty!! My granddaughters walked in the room and took off their shoes and their feet were black from the carpet within 10 minutes. The smells in the bathroom are nasty and the beds are dirty. Had to go purchase our own pillows and sheets. We stayed two days and asked for housekeeping and the front desk said it would be cleaned by the time we got back from the water park that day. Everything was the same: dirty carpet, unmade beds. The TV didn’t work either. Asked to change rooms but they were fully booked. I trusted the reviews and the individuals must have been joking and purposely wanting families to get the worse hotel experience. Ruined our family vacation. If you book by reviews, take this one seriously. No new renovation, pure lies.

I expected better

I expected so much more out of this place based off of reviews. There was hair on the shower wall so I doubt it was clean. Room remodeling was like every other hotel in the area- shoddy. I.e. paint all over, ugly spots, and we had paint on our shower curtain. Bed was too firm. I like a firm mattress and this was just extra firm. I liked the layout of the room. We only stayed about 12 hours, but the AC did start leaking water inside while we were packing to leave.

When this place newly remodeled the rooms just a year and a half ago it was nice for the price. We have stayed 3-4 times since. It's crazy how quickly the rooms have been beat up by people. Will most likely not stay here again. Rooms are too run down already. Didn't feel "clean" because of that.

Needs all new people working

Customer service was the worst I've ever seen. The tenant yelled at me loud enough for the people outside to hear me. Then our room leaked water in a matter of seconds. There is a big puddle right in the middle of the floor they had to switch us to a different room. Which they cleaned, is one of the better rooms, but it was really not much better than what we had. And it was less handicapped accessible

While the staff was kind the place was overall not clean. The pool was cloudy, the curtains in the room were splattered with some kind of stains. We did not stay, checked out as soon as we found a more suitable location.

Perfect

Everything was very clean on the property ! I gave our experience and expectation of the hotel a 5 star. There was only one thing we did not like that was the water pressure! It was horrible. It took literally hours for the bath tub to fill up .but other than that it was perfect !

Stay somewhere else.

The location was very close to the park, however the parking lot was terrible when first pulling in. The shower curtain was gross at the bottom and couldn’t change the shower to a bath. When showering the water would somehow leak into the floor, in which our socks kept getting wet until we laid towels down. I had request new towels and were provided in the office and told them about the floor. They still came into the room and gave us more towels and took the dirty ones, which was fine. The only issue then was they did that they moved all of our cell phone chargers and one happen to go missing. Which why they would move them from the plugs to different places in our room is weird. When I went to the office they said no one would’ve taken it, called the person that gave us new towels as if they would admit they would’ve taken it. No apology for anything at all. Thankfully we didn’t leave actual valuables or i believe they would’ve went missing. Also if you can’t sleep through the sound of a train horn you won’t be able to sleep.
