Double paid

Hot tub broken which I knew by overhearing conversation between guest and Front desk. Unfortunately, the bar was closed and that’s mainly why I picked over another! I had already walked in and paid. Also, had to cancel debit card because I noticed next day I was charged by your facility for really high amount, and also Hotels.com which I purchased room through. Also, I reported the drain in tub was not draining at all. Manager seemed unfamiliar w how to access menu from room.

Terrible customer service

I don’t usually leave reviews but I feel compelled to let others know about our experience. Customer service was non-existent. Front desk staff was quite rude to our group over the phone, not welcoming or friendly at all upon checking in, and dismissive when asking questions. Room was fine. Both hot tubs were closed which was unfortunate. Overall not very impressed.

No hot tubs!

We are local and often book a room at the Water Tower to enjoy the swimming pool and hot tubs. The restaurant and bar are always a bonus. This time, we were excited to enjoy the outdoor hot tubs but were surprised to find that it was out of order, so was the sauna and the indoor hot tub. It would have been nice to know this prior to booking - there should be a notice added to the listing until these amenities are fixed. Otherwise, it was a nice stay. Room was clean, comfortable and staff were helpful at check in.

Dogs everywhere barking. Out door and indoor hot tubs did not work. Unnecessarily strict on use of plastic cups or toys in the pool area. Room was much smaller than advertised. Staff was bitter and not at all helpful. We didn't have any other options because of booking late but will definitely avoid this hotel in the future.

Pool is disgusting, rest of the hotel is not far off. In dire need of a renovation. We are from here and visit a couple times a year and this hotel has gone downhill FAST. We booked for the pool for our children and it was gross, the hot tubs were out of order. The smaller pool was a swamp pretty much. Loud and beds are awful. Won’t be back unfortunately.
