We got the hotel room simply to take our son swimming and the indoor pool was so cold you couldn’t even swim at all. Really a disappointment for the price.

Nice getaway

Had a suite on the water our own personal balcony. Its a short ride to the casino. They had a vibrant night life. We only stayed a night so didn't check out the restaurants and other amenities like pool or jacuzzi.

This place is falling apart. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Our room reeked terribly, a combination of cigarette smoke and mold from the disgusting indoor pool area. The indoor pool area needs immediate mold remediation. It is like a horror film. And the mold it spreading through the hallway ceiling and you can see the mold and rust on the ceiling far and wide. The hotel rooms offer a combination of cheap upgrades andareas falling apart. Our bathroom door did not close, that was fun. You can tell the new investment group that own it does not care. Or has very low standards. The restaurants are super slow, tasty, but do not go hungry. One other example, out of many uncomfortable moments here, was when a large group of rowdy, loud, rude guests, were spilling drinks and tracking them all over the place while we were trying to eat as a family. The staff seem like they are living in the twilight zone, they are lovely, but clearly they know things are going down hill. We read this used to be family owned, most of the reviews are probably from the good old days, beware of the bad news days...

The receptionist saved the visit - otherwise it would have been tougher! The place was probably cool once but needs ALOT of work. The food was actually pretty good - glad I went once because it’s a unique space but probably won’t be rushing back.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

The hotel is not as advertised. The pictures online are very beautiful but the hotel itself is not even close to the pictures. They charges you for EVERYTHING!!! breast, water, etc…the rooms are sooo outdated and freezing!!! The hallway smells so bad and cold too. The air vent kept coming on even when turned off. The walls are so thin, like me and my man couldn’t sleep because the next door neighbor were fighting and bickering. The fire alarm will come on for absolutely no reason. I will never stay here again!
