    Hotel had a smell that was offensive, carpets stained, had shirt black hairs on my bed, and had to always flush twice just to get a little bit of TP down. The young lady that checked me in was very friendly.

    The hallway and entrance had a horrible smell (musty, moldy) and was rundown and unclean. Regarding amenities, the pool was closed down when we were there. There was a note on a room in our hallway saying it was an "exercise room" in which a key needed to be obtained from the office. It felt strange. We've stayed here twice, but not again unless significant improvements are made.

    Cleaner hallways.

    Horrible, we ended up not staying after being talked into staying by the front desk. Once we almost got robbed by people living there. She had no problem letting us leave with no cancellation fee

    Shower did not work at all. Stains all over the bedding, chairs, floor. Shower and ceiling very dirty.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Pool was closed indefinitely and front desk told me it was out there on 3rd party so I was surprised as my kids were looking forward to swimming. The rooms need updates and there are many things that need repairs. Even had to ask for milk at breakfast. This place needs a major overhaul.

    The front desk lady was excellent, unfortunately the hotel itself needs a major renovation. The water park has been shut down since January 2026 and we were never told about the closure. The pictures on Expedia show an open water park.

    The room was clean and comfortable, but it was incredibly hard to open and close the door. The older air conditioner in the wall was quite loud, but thankfully it was a cool evening, and we could open the window. The pool was a popular "plus" for the property, with several guests enjoying the huge (and fastest slide my husband says he's ever been on!). One problem that will need to be addressed pretty soon, is the metal circular staircase leading to the top of the slide. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would encourage the staff to keep up the good work .

    It listed having an aquatic center, but it's been closed for over 7 months. There was no notice of this online, being that it is one of the main amenities of this location there should be some discount or compensation for that.

    Only booked this room for the pool and lazy river…..which we didn’t find out until we got there was closed and literally emptied. The rooms here are not worth it. They all smell musty and are very outdated.

    Worst hotel stay we’ve ever had. Specifically booked this hotel for the water park (this was the cover photo on Expedia) and it was closed and has been since January. Then when we arrived we had booked a 2 queen room with a sofa bed and there was no sofa bed so we had to request a cot. It took asking the front desk for one twice and over an hour wait just to receive one with a broken frame. Rooms were disgustingly dusty - nothing in our room worked, the TV didn’t work at all, hair dryer didn’t work (requested a new one and staff never brought it.) Shower hardly worked as half the water came out the tub spout so there was no water pressure. Breakfast was GARBAGE, only options were cereal, waffles and toast (our entire family is gluten free and couldn’t eat anything) Staff didn’t seem to care about anything and there was always only one person working. Not worth $150 a night!
