Great place to stay. My only complaint is that there are only two EV chargers and they were busy for two days. Could use several more. I was able to charge at the charge point DCFC across the street without problems (except for the rain)

Security guy named Jasson, was beyond horrible to my family and I! First he prohibited my husband and son from walking barefoot from the pool to the hotel room, stating: "you are you completely out of line sir!" Then later why i was trying to buy something from their souvenir shop, Jasson proceeded to tell me "we have cut you off of drinking maam! I dont care if you just want to buy a souvenir, you need to stop drinking! Mind you, i was with my 4 year old son, with dinner that i had just gotten from mtgwir reataurant.s

Nice place, but not friendly

Its nice, clean, good sized room....but check in was a nightmare and its not dog friendly. The 1st woman we had at checked in told me my reservation was wrong (when it wasn't) and she was not any nicer with the other person on my reservation, telling her her card declined when it cleary went through. When checking in I was told that they couldn't accommodate adjointy rooms I requestsed and that was approved prior to arrival(i have a 15 year old that needs to be next to me with my mother, due to special needs) because they didnt know I had a dog (i have an email clearly stating they would accommodate us, WOTH THE DOG). Although I reserved long before they sold out, rooms were separated by 4 floors. I got the feeling because they were sold out and they didn't have adjoining rooms, like they thought if they made it difficult, i would give up and leave. It was totally unprofessional to ignore my reservation. Taking the dog out was an insane walk. Not dog friendly, they just accept dogs (there is a difference).Hallways were loud and doors slammed all night. We are up in this part of the state often, but i would never go back.
