The room that I made a reservation for I did not get I got a smaller room. They had given our room to someone else. The first room they gave us was dirty like somebody was sleeping in it. The second room they gave us was okay but the floor and top blankets was dirty. She wouldn't refund some of my money since I didn't get the room I reserved. People were yelling and screaming at each other during the day and in the middle of the night. There were kids drinking in the hot tub and standing on this fence area by the slide and jumping off of it. Breakfast was old tasting and they didn't have much there. Don't recommend this place to anyone and would not stay there again.
The room was really dirt and blood on the wall but you get what you pay for i guess....I would not recommend to anyone i know. The pool is not working either and looks like it hasn't been for a while. Might want to change listing on your site.
The room was comfortable and beds clean, but overall the hotel was run down, the hot tub was only half full and not hot, the waterslide was shut down early, and the continental breakfast barely had any food. We asked for a roll away bed which when brought to us was a very old ripped mattress with mouse droppings and seeds folded up in it like a critter had been living there. We obviously refused to use it.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was clean. Bedding, tables and the floors were clean. However phone in room was disconnected and not able to be connected that I could find and hair dryer did not work. No shampoo/conditioner. Heater buttons broken so could not turn heat down. Did share with front staff. Hopefully they take care of it.

Disliked: Staff & service
They were very rude, and tried to get extra money out of us for absolutly no reason
Tub and sink didn’t drain well. Water barely hot enough to shower. Hit and miss on friendliness of the staff. Never cleaned room during a three day stay. Continental breakfast was a complete joke. People hitting you up for money as you walked out the front doors of the hote. The coffee was good though!
The pool was drained, all doors going outside were locked from the inside except the lobby door to go outside. The guy at the front desk was normally missing. Our room didn’t even have a fan in the bathroom, and the bed sheets did not look very clean.
