    Terrible! The main draw is the pool and water slide. The water slide was closed for 20 minutes out of every 30 minutes all night because too many kids were using it. They were constantly out of pool towels. The basketball hoop in the pool has been broken since we stayed here last year. They changed their policy to make you have to request housekeeping except they don't tell you that when you check in, and it is not written in their policies because "The manager hasn't updated it yet." When you find out and request housekeeping for the same day, they say it's too late. The rooms are old, broken, and dingy. There were used towels left on the floor. On top of everything else, the coffee is horrendous. To be fair, the continental breakfast was decent.

    The room is basic, but nice, and clean. Front desk person was very nice even though she was very busy and by herself.

    We got here and the kiddie pool was broken, no towels, and the bed is in shambles. We have a sofa bed but had to wait way past my son’s bed time to get a bed in a bag (it didn’t come in the room). The doors didn’t close correctly and the pool was always a disaster. The only one working there looked like some homeless person just dumping chemicals in the pool (strange). The pool never had towels. The exercise equipment and room was terrible. It was like a hotbox without towels or anything to clean the sweat on items. In the end, my son was happy to be able to have a slide, but when we got up in the morning the hot tub was closed off. I just feel like this was the worst serviced hotel I’ve ever been to. Takeaways: great for kids. Bring your own towels, expect things to look like a hot mess always, don’t use the workout room (unless you enjoy sweat in hot yoga mats), and enjoy the breakfast, it’s actually pretty good. Just don’t come for a couple’s retreat or even a solo trip…stay ANYWHERE else…
