This is false advertising. The rooms are disgusting. The internet and tv did not work. The outlets in the room did not work. The pool and gym were closed. There were bugs in the rooms. I am extremely disappointed this is list as a 4 star hotel it was the worst hotel I have ever walked into. I had to leave and book a new hotel, I am still waiting for my refund that I was told I would be getting.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The poor lighting disguised the dirty floor marginally well, as did the half window with the upper half providing a great view of the parking lot. It wasn’t until headlights shone in that I really was able to see the gross gunk on the windows. Requested a quiet room and placed adjacent to nightclub. Drunken bar-closers banged on door at 2:10 am looking for room party, returning at 2:15. Calls to front desk were unanswered. Vending machine was almost empty. Clearly the “do not disturb” sign didn’t work against the bar patrons. Likewise, the “please make up this room” sign was also ineffective as housekeeping did not clean the room or make the bed during my stay. That is, until 8:30 am of my checkout morning when, despite the DND sign, housekeeping began to enter while I was still sleeping without knocking. NOTE: There is no way to lock the door from inside. Housekeeping returned less than an hour later (9:15) inform me I was supposed to check out (which was 11). I told them I would remove the sign when I left and to stop trying to come in. They didn’t like that. This room was horrifically overpriced for a sub ground level. Good notes: The Asian restaurant was delicious. The coffee shop was fantastic also (be sure to request voucher - front desk neglected to provide mine) and the young woman at the desk when I checked out was darling. I don’t blame the lousy service or management on her - she wasn’t there at any other time. Absolutely not returning. Ever.

The property was completely unprepared for guests. The pool and area near it was closed off to guests. Even the dryer in their laundry room was out of order. The guests were rowdy/noisy which made it hard to sleep. When we got to the room they didn't even have a shower curtain hung and only had 1 towel and wash cloth. I would recommend people avoid this and stay elsewhere!

Not a great off-season pick for 4.5 hr drive. While we think it would be a great place for a wedding/banquet/large crowd event it lacked in providing for hotel guests. Anyone can walk-in to the hotel at late hours as we evidenced by entering without use of our hotel key. Tight front parking lot. Breakfast was ok and at least they ask for your voucher to show you’re a guest and greet you warmly. Tables are uneven and dumped our liquids upon sitting but they sparingly put out napkins. We were so excited to have a wood-fired pizza option but had been told upon arrival that not serving as staff left in mid-shift. Never saw Shoguns serving either. So we chose not to even try next night. Felt snookered as pics of indoor pool made us choose but nothing updated online to say so an electrical issue to close which we’re sure they knew well before our arrival. We had a sink that doused your whole front & floor trying to just brush your teeth. There is no place to set anything down flat there either. We found 4 millipedes on walls and 1 giant carpenter ant on bed..eww! Bed was thin and something in my pillow poked my finger to draw blood. Housekeeping was directly across from our room when we left at 1pm yet no acknowledgment or smile and so our rooms remained undone. It has so much potential but much to repair or update., leaking water in the middle of a walkway to breakfast but no way aging mom could’ve managed. Woodsy courtyard overlooking the rushing waters best.

We have been staying at the Woodlands for 15 plus years. This was the first time our room overlooked the back parking lot. We didnt get much sleep due to drink people yelling in the parking lot all hours of the night. Plus loud people rinning up and down the hallway. I understand there is a night club and bar in the hotel but we were exhausted the next day from little sleep.
