I prepaid this property and they double charged me anyway. They refused to remove the hold of the extra funds on the credit card when asked and said i will need to call my bank. Staff were very rude. They told me it was all my fault foe booking with a 3rd party app. No manager follow up when requested. Property was under construction and hallways smelled of smoke to trigger allergies. Refused to provide towels foe the number of people in the room.

Great location. Two areas where we needed front desk staffs help: getting a microwave to our room -we were there 4 nights and never got it. Managed without. 2nd - Front desk staff said they had change for laundry. On Sunday aftn went to ask for change - they didn't have any and didn't know where we could go to get change. She did suggest east side Mario's bar - but it was closed. However laundry facility was great - clean and 2 washers and dryers.

We were later to arrive but our daughter was able to enjoy the water slides for a bit. Beds were comfy and coffee in room was good. However, there’s a bar above the toilet that sticks out too far and impales you trying to get in the shower, and we were placed right across from an obnoxiously squeaky door that kept us up all night. Steer clear of room 235!
