The desk staff did the what what they could but the place is being held together by a thousand "patches" lights falling off the walls, mirrors falling off the walls, the ceiling in our first room (260) was leaking and the one in our second room (154) was falling into the tub and toilet... no joke. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, if it wasn't for the desk staff there would be nothing good to say. Doors were patched with Gorilla tape, windo screens were falling out. Maintenance is obviously very bad at what they so. I was told by one staff member that this has been an issue for a wile. We didn't eat there... why risk it after what we saw. I have paid less and expected less for that money but got much more, this is is not a "ya get what ya pay for place. I hate to be negative but its the truth. The pool area was out of towels, the stairs and supports to the slide were rusty bad enough and long enough to stain the ground it was dripping on. Oh and in room 154 we also had a cracked glass in one windo. I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if there is mold in the walls and floors as well

I didn't even stay.. checked in and it was eerie with some interesting people. Went to the pool and the waterside wasn't even on, not that i would use it though because the stairs looked NASTY. The only reason for two stars is because the front desk lady was super nice.

We had no warm water and we were up by 630. We had an event to get to. When we expressed our conditions it was “oh I’m sorry no one else has said anything.” There were 5 rooms in our party and we all had the same troubles. The breakfast area both days were a mess and very limited. I’ve stayed in some cheaper hotels that were a 1000 times better. There is holes in the wall. Possibly going through a renovation but honestly can’t tell. Not a place I will ever stay again.

I think it depends on the room you get because my family’s rooms were nice but our room was run down. Holes in the curtains, hot water didn’t work, the drain didn’t work in the tub, and our toilet stopped flushing so we took the top off just to see that that chain fell off and wouldn’t stay on.

Pleasantly surprised

At the price I wasn't expecting a great experience. I was very pleasantly surprised. First the front desk person, Ashley, was fun and friendly. Very good first impression. 2nd the room smelled nice and was very clean. I'm a carpenter so I noticed cosmetic issues but definitely not a deal breaker. I will stay here again.
