Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but had a very specific odor. We talked to the front desk and house keeping came up and sprayed the room. The smell went away for a bit but came back.

When you reserve a room online, it shows the pool is open every day, most of the day. When you check in, there is a sign stating the slide is only open Friday-Sunday, and the pool doesn't open until 4PM. I checked in on a Thursday and specifically asked if the slide would be open. Front deck staff assured me it would be open, again on a Thursday. Long story short, when the pool opened at 4PM the same staff told me they still weren't sure if the slide would open. It never did. We had the place to ourselves, so that was nice. Second time staying at this place for the slide, without my kids being able to use the slide. The place does have a good breakfast!

This hotel was the perfect place to stay to be near the downtown but not directly in it! The staff was lovely and our room was perfect. Breakfast was always delicious and the place was always clean! Really nice hotel to stay at in a not too busy area.

It's ok at best.
We had flying ants all over our room, mostly in the bathroom. Kids are everywhere and the walls are thin enough to hear both the kids and dogs.
It's also tucked back behind an event center and is kinda hard to find/ get to, not to mention being in a dirty area. The security door on the east end doesn't work and random people just kinda wander in and mosey around. The dirt and tarps are a dead giveaway that they aren't staying at the hotel.
The doors don't seal either and have gaps all the way around so you can hear everything going on in the hallways.
The pool is cool and has a big water slide, but that's probably the highlight of the whole place.
