Go elsewhere

I have never been to a nastier hotel there was a strong musty odor, the filters were filthy, you could feel dirt on the floor and it appears that there is mold on the walls ( not seen until morning) we would have went elsewhere but didn’t arrive until midnight and had to leave early so we endured but never again.

Weird hours for the pool but other then that almost every room was disgusting, from the white spots on the couch to the ants under beds. There was mold on the shower curtain so we didn't use it while showering but what's funny about that is we had to take military showers because the tub wouldn't drain properly. I'm just glad there wasn't bed bugs. Just not a good experience and we left early because the longer we stayed the most disgusting stuff we found.

Will not stay again

Dated building. My friend and I ended up with an extremely strange, dated room that we had to go through a maze to get to. While going through that maze it felt like we were walking through a ghost town of rundown restaurants and unused banquet spaces. We were unable to even find the ice machine near our room. It was clean and were only there for one night so we made do. Great location too so that made it more bearable.

They don’t have breakfast. 2 queen beds are on the other side of the building where there is no elevator. You have to carry luggage by straits for 1 floor. Room and bathroom was too dark . Lights were not working. When asked for better room, hotel charged for upgrade charges and billed extra amount

Moisture trouble

The overall cleanliness of the room was clean, I’ll give them that. But there was a definite moisture problem with that room. We arrived late into the evening and the rooms 2 ac unites were set on freezing. We had thought that because the room was so cold everything had gotten damp. Even all the pillows & beds. Well the dampness never went away. Throughout the next day while out of the room we left the ac off but upon our return it was just damp and warm in the suite. The suite has wallpaper throughout and where the seams didn’t come together the wallpaper had curled back with mold growing. The glass window on the door going outside it mold growing along its caulk line. The room had a jacuzzi, that we never used and the property has a water park which was its own building so neither of those two things were the leading issue of wet, dampness. We stayed two nights and each night you crawled into a damp bed. In the mornings when I’d put my Birkenstock sandals on, they were damp from the moisture in the room. If there had not been a moisture problem, everything would have been great

Issues with the tv and no one at the pool ensuring kids/people behave appropriately and safely. I was told there was an attendant but never saw one. Hot tubs weren’t heated to normal hot tub heat. Just warmer than pool.
