Last. Stay. Forever.
Had to move rooms, room was gross. Hot tub broke when we first arrived. Finally opened, not hot and at one point we counted 38 kids in it. Hard for adults to enjoy. If they made the hot tub hot, the kids wouldn’t want to sit in it. Pool was freezing. Another reason kids wanted to be in the luke warm hot tub. Breakfast was gone by 8:30am on Saturday. Won’t be back.

The stay was not what we expected as we were checking in, we found out hot tub was down for the day. Which we had one night stay. Had a pool side room which when it starts getting late and ready to turn in. You can hear the loudness coming from the pool area. Staff was very friendly and we were greeted very well. Some minor room ammenities weren’t what we expected. Slept good and the room was nice and dark.

Our neighbors were up partying with loud music all night. We have a 5 year old who was having a hard time sleeping and we didn’t get any sleep ourselves. The pool was over capacity the entire time. Our daughter couldn’t enjoy the pool as kids were swimming into her and throwing balls at her. It was just not an enjoyable time throughout the whole stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Multiple fights broke out during our stay. We my 11 and 13 year old girls) were here for my niece and nephews 12th birthday party. They were followed and physically abused (punched) by two other children (not in our party). Staff did nothing even though my daughter had it on video. There were other fist fights involving other ADULT guests (also not in our party). Cops were called by someone. At that point we did not feel safe to go in common areas, so we ended up staying in our room. Definitely not worth the price either as it is a pretty dirty and run down place.

We booked an handicap accessible room but they would not let us have one. My mother in law had a stroke and can’t walk far and they put us on the third floor. Not happy.
