The heater would turn on very load regardless if it was on or off every 25 minutes. Semi-clean but felt rushed.

Check in is at the Crown hotel next door. Room was a little dated but right near the lake and town, close enough to walk to attractions. Room has a coffee maker similar to keurig, but would not fit k cups or other brands. So if you are one to bring your own coffee, it won’t work here.

Definitely underwhelming. Should pass
The photos show breakfast. No breakfast. Pool hours are limited to either new or multi day guests. The pool hours are short so it is not meant to be used by guests as they please. Other guests mentioned complaints regarding not working showers and misleading breakfast information. Room was clean ish but many things about this are misleading.

AC,fridge don’t work, waterpark needs cleaning!
There was no phone in the room to even call the front desk to let them know the fridge wasn’t getting cold. No tv remote, Had to walk there to the desk and tell them when we got back to our room that evening , along with the AC cutting off every couple of minutes. I was literally sweating when I walked to front desk to tell them…. And I was told “there was nothing maintenance could do tonight for the AC” . And I mentioned switching rooms but they that they were sold out… when I came back to tell them there was no tv remote either along with no phone , room temperature fridge and the ac cutting out and it was ridiculous at a rate over $200 I’d atleast expect AC to work ( this was after 11pm my kid was asleep ) miraculously they weren’t sold out and had a room they could switch me to …. I’m like I really don’t want to at this point since my kid is asleep… said they’d send maintnece but didn’t know when he’d come,could be an hour…. And that I could talk to manager in morning! I did that before I checked out , and because I prepaid online he offered me a “ free night stay” in the future if less than 80% occupancy.wrote it on scrap paper said he had to type up something official in system and he’d email me it…. It’s been over 2weeks, I emailed him but have yet to get any response !!!!!and the free waterpark, is shared amongst other properties, pipes look old needs replaced, pool deck cleaned. Outdoor pool needed cleaning , looked very ifff!

Very disappointed in this hotel. Not set up for customers with disabilities to get to the other side of building for breakfast. Air quality was bad. I had to cancel my last night because my breathing was not good in the room.

I was very hesitant to book this place because of all the bad reviews, but it was much better than I expected. Nothing fancy. An older hotel, staff was proficient, not overly friendly but shower was hot. Rooms were surface clean. Perfect for the one night stay on the way to somewhere else we were looking for.
