Indoor pool was uncomfortably cold, jacuzzi wasn’t open/filled, found 2 full set of magnetic and glue eyelashes in my room (attached to mirror /headboard and on floor). Kids tried playing corn hole , only bags out were 2-one empty one ripped. Previous times you could go into the bar and leave your ID and they would give you a set of beanbags, when we tried doing this, the lady was super rude behind the bar and told us the only bags they had were out at the porn hole boards. Charged me early check in (even though place was empty, Monday )and dog fee twice had to have a manager fix it because desk lady wouldn’t recognize her mistake. Dining options were great, that’s about it.

Aging resort

The Woodlands is an outdated, aging “resort” with minimal amenities. Hot tub used to be its biggest attraction, hasn’t been working in years. Won’t be returning here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff was not knowledgeable about the amenities on the property. Asked the front desk for directions to the nightclub and after hiking clear to the other side of the property, found the nightclub to be closed. Returned to front desk and was told that they didnt know the what days and hours they were open. What a waste of time! The rooms (I booked 2) were sub par. Broken and missing shelves in bathrooms. Walls had scuff marks and looked dirty. We felt like we were staying in a cheap motel while paying the price for a nice hotel. The hotel grounds and building exteriors are in need of serious work. At check out we voiced concerns about our stay, only to be met with a rude and nasty staff member. Her attitude was of someone that didn't like her job and could care less about hotel guests. After listening to some of our concerns, she got very nasty. We then asked to speak to a manager and after being made to wait, we were greeted with someone that we think was pretending to be a manager. We expressed our frustrations only to be met with a series of "I'm sorrys" and "you're rights". I have stayed here many, many times years ago. It is so sad to see how far this resort has fallen. We will NEVER stay here again!!

Stayed here with my family. Had a nice view of the river. The large hot tub was closed, and the pool was open, however, very musky. TV was broken in the room, but we were told that when we checked in and they gave us vouchers for breakfast and drinks at night

Stay at end of March 2025

This is listed as a 4 star property, but it was built in the '60s and despite attempts to renovate the facility looks/feels tired. The doorways are narrow, there are multiple levels to get from point A to Point B. I can't imagine it ever being handicapped accessible. Wallpaper is patched, modern bath is tiny and sink splashes everywhere. Staff was very friendly, the grounds are obviously beautiful in season. But at best, this is a 3 star accommodation.
