Rooms were fine, beds were a little uncomfortable. Two major complaints that really kind of ruined our stay; 1. Food at the free breakfast was mediocre, at best. Powdered scrambled eggs. Sausage was chewy and tasted like it was boiled. 2. Mini Golf was awful. Only 4 “holes.” They were all beat up. And to top it off, they didn’t have any putters! All they had to give us was two golf irons! When I questioned it, the young lady behind the desk shrugged her shoulders and said, “Sorry. That’s all we’ve got.” To add insult to injury, my son is left-handed and these irons were right-handed clubs! All it would take is someone to go to Wal Mart and pick up a couple of $15 clubs and some decent golf balls. The golf balls were wimpy plastic whiffle type balls. We were EXTREMELY disappointed and my son was very upset. We still used it and made the best of it, but wasn’t worth the $200/night for us. There are other options in the area for similar pricing that we will look into next time.

This property quickly became a favorite for the kids. The indoor activities (pool, playground, mini golf) made this a fantastic option for our family. We could have done without the half eaten lunchable in one of the bedside drawers though.

Our stay was very comfortable here. Soft beds and plenty of towels. The air worked but the room was humid. The hot water worked in the shower but not the sink for some reason. We loved the pool area, played corn hole, used the hot tub & pool. Breakfast was fine, the usual options. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful.

Second grossest hotel I've ever stayed in. Stayed for 2 nights for an event in town and preferred not to camp. Bathroom clearly had not been properly cleaned, weird nasty built up residues and hairs and mildew all over the bathroom. One of the towels had dried snot on it. Walls have gross stains all over it. Bedsprings on one of the beds had a weird oily white substance and stain (did not want to investigate further). I couldnt wait to leave Would never go back and would never recommend. Place is grimy and I left feeling like I needed to be power washed

Breakfast was lacking. We were there at 9am and the offering was biscuits and gravy, cold cereal and they were just putting out yogurt. No eggs offered or bacon/sausage. Our shower hadn’t been cleaned from previous gues as there was used soap and a used washcloth still in the shower
