For the price I paid for the room. Plus being forced to pay an additional $100 deposit. I would have expected the pool area to be more clean, better monitored and taken care of. Tons of unruly children, very dirty water. No staff monitoring for wrist bands or making people follow the rules. Over capacity for sure. Staff was very stressed out and short at check in.

We booked this hotel specifically for the bar and pool/hot tub. During check in, the agent wearing a green sweater and matching eye makeup informed us that the bar was closed due to no available staff. We were advised that we could bring our own drinks and enjoy the bar but there was no staff available to serve us. We were disappointed but decided to take her up on the offer. After checking in we made our way to the bar area and again, we were advised that they had no accommodations to keep our drinks cold but that there was an ice machine down the hall. About 20 minutes later we were approached by the manager and informed that we were not permitted to drink in the bar. Terrible communication and service. We were not able to access the

We had a very nice one night stay and would definitely recommend it, and return. They were understaffed both when we checked in and the following morning, so we had to wait a bit. But, the staff did everything they could to help everyone as fast as possible. The pool/splash pad was fun! The equipment could use an update, but was clean and the kids loved it.

Kids were running the halls, up and down the stairs and yelling, being extremely loud until about 1:00am. Our room phone did not work, so I had to walk down to the front desk to report the noise. You could hear them from the front desk too. The employee working the front desk acted bothered when I asked her, politely, if anything was going to be done about the noise. The loudness went on for a couple more hours.

Everything was great - the only downer was that the shower had no pressure and the drain must of been backed up because it filled up with water almost immediately during the shower. But everything was clean and everyone was nice. We plan on making this trip once a month for the kids to play at the water park. We definitely will be back!

Kiddie Pool Closed

Chose this hotel for their indoor kiddie pool playground per the photos. After we drove THREE HOURS for this amenity, we checked in (nothing was mentioned about the kiddie pool being closed at check-in) and got our kids ready for the pool. Found out when we got down to the pool which was covered with yellow caution tape that the entire kiddie pool area was closed and drained for construction. Desk clerk was 0% apologetic. Very very frustrating.

FALSE ADVERTISING! I booked this hotel based on the pictures of the beautiful pool area. We show up to swim with our kids, and the kid pool with slides is broken apart, water drained. Pool is gross, dark cloudy color, hair clumps floating in it. Rusted areas. Hot tub was disgusting as well. Despite this, my kids were still excited about the little splash pad area, so we stayed for a little bit and let them run around. I’ve been bamboozled!
