I was extremely frustrated with the unhelpfulness of the staff when my reservation was incorrectly booked. They told me to step away, saying it would take a while to fix, which was unacceptable. It took me just 10 minutes to cancel and rebook over the phone. Their lack of support caused me significant stress, ultimately leading me to leave in the middle of the night due to anxiety. I didn’t get to enjoy the pool at all, which is very disappointing.

Great hotel for the price. But beware of unexpected fees when you get there. Of course i know a deposit for damage is expected and i did get it back but i wasnt prepared for all the other fees. But even with the fees the price still wasnt terrible for the stay. The only other issues i had was one of the elevators was down the whole time we were there so during check in and check out times it was hectic with all the people and the vending machine took my money and didnt give me the drink i paid for. But it was clean it was family friendly and the kids loved it. I would definitely come back
