The lady that checked us in barely spoke to us but was efficient. Room was clean but we noticed the thermostat wasn’t working until we climbed into bed so we called and she told us the maintenance guy had left for the evening and we could move rooms. Second room looked the same but not as nice of a view outside but that was ok. Both mornings we woke up to the housekeeping staff shouting to each other in the hallways (continuously from about 7:30am - 9am). Hotel breakfast buffet was ok but the second day, the waitress barely looked in our direction. Had to chase her down to get a drink and every table in the restaurant was dirty or had plates on it. We were excited about trying out the lazy river pool but was told that it doesn’t open until 11 AM. Meanwhile, the other pool opened at 9 AM (no signage stating this) Very disappointed. Rooms and price were decent but service were incredibly lacking.

Hotel room was clean, comfortable, quiet. Only a few bummers - one was that there was no coffee pot in the room and it wasnt available until late morning in the lobby. And the other was that the front desk thought it was a great idea to call me at 2 in the morning to tell me they had our breakfast vouchers there waiting for me... At 2 in the morning, I couldnt give a rat's furry tooshie about breakfast vouchers...Otherwise, it was a great stay.

I've stayed here at least 10 times and every time it's clean and quiet. The rooms are large, and one of my favorite aspects is there are 2 sinks; one of which is outside the bathroom, so I can get ready while my family is showering.

Bit scruffy. Pool way too cold. Lazy river hours very limited. Most lifeguards on phones. Whats the point? Just keep it unguarded and guests are responsible for themselves. Slide too slow.
