Pool was closed for repairs and has been for months. Not mentioned on the website at all. The room I prepaid for was rented to someone else before I arrived. Per the manager, they have minimal cleaning staff so there were no other single king rooms clean. They gave me a double queen room instead. The phone did not work. The electrical outlet by the beds did not work.

The entire hotel was being dehumidified with industrial fans and the noise was intolerable. The system for checking in was down and I needed to move to a private office and help the clerk with her iPad to help myself get checked in. The room was absolutely freezing cold, the pillows were tiny and you couldn't lay on your back and rest your entire head on them, and the showers were deficient and did not have consistent water pressure or temperature.

Pool closed for the weekend, no prior notice of this. Booked through hotels.com so had to go through them to try cancel. I was on hold for about 30 minutes to discuss with them to cancel last minute. We were traveling with a 6 year old for state wrestling. We chose this hotel because of the pool and slide. Nice location by the Sanford center. Hotel staff very nice, understanding and accommodating and gave me the number to call. Did not make it to a room but lobby appeared run down not clean and dated with half full baby bottle in the corner and a nipple to another baby bottle on the floor. An old sectional couch is the lobby furniture but it is disassembled for 2 couches and the middle piece off to the side- looked tacky. Law enforcement was there dealing with a domestic issue when we arrived and another guest came down with issues of backed up toilet.
