McKenzie at front desk was rude and gave us the wrong room type. Suite was ok... dark and not very clean. We went to find dinner and couldn't find anything except a loud outdoor bar. What was worse was my daughter has dairy allergy and breakfast didn't have a single option not even alternative milk. That is totally unacceptable: Didn't realize property shares pools with three other hotels. We checked out early to stay elsewhere.

The hotel itself is okay and the room looks updated but I was still able to detect an old smell that I have experienced in the past with Holiday Inn. The bathroom is also very small. The plus for that particular hotel are the activities for kids. They had rock climbing, bungee jumping, and zip lining. They also played a movie by the pool which reminded me of how the pool areas are on Disney properties. Overall it was okay but I just hate an old smell in rooms and when the bathrooms are not updated.

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.
