Spent the first night in a room with a toilet that didn’t flush. Asked front desk attendants for a plunger, and wanted me to come get it Myself. Attitude and lazy. Room stunk and someone was smoking pot on our floor. The grounds were beautiful and the breakfast staff were top notch and cared about the cleanliness, but the hallways had stains all over them. They really should steam clean the carpets, so the place doesn’t look like a pig sty.

The rooms are very dirty, ants in the bathroom. Rusty taps, limited space. The rooms were nosiy and the staff just ignored to our requests, when we complained about someone knocking on doors at 2 am. We reserved the room for 5 nights, but checked out immediately next day morning. Thanks to Expedia who helped us to cancel the rest of the reservation without any charges.

It’s okay
The Good: Check-in was quick and efficient. The hotel offers movies by the pool almost every night and plenty of activities for kids, which is a great touch. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, including pancakes, toast, eggs, cereal, and rotating specials like biscuit's and gravy or corned beef hash. The room was standard, but I appreciated the addition of a bench for suitcases. The price I paid in all was great ($384 for 3 nights). It was also nice that the hotel wasn’t crowded during my stay. The Not-So-Good: There were a few issues that affected our stay. First, the front desk staff gave me a WiFi password, but it turned out that one wasn’t needed for guests to connect—this created unnecessary confusion. The room lacked a TV guide or any information on amenities, which made it difficult to know what was available and when. The bathroom door was a major issue: it wouldn’t stay open, and both my daughter and I ended up hurting our fingers because it slammed shut unexpectedly. For families with children, this could be a serious safety concern. Additionally, the pool with the water slide wasn’t heated, which limited its use during cooler weather. The carpets in the hallways and rooms were noticeably stained and could use a deep cleaning. Finally, there were no vending machines on my floor, which was inconvenient—especially for those who don’t feel comfortable drinking water from a bathroom sink.
