The window in the room was not able to be locked and there was a roof outside that could allow access to the window.
The room also has a strong odor that I could not identify.
The best part was that it was conveniently located to the venue we were attending and the bed was comfortable.

Mediocre stay.
Pool was without towels. Spoke to front desk to be told "they just replaced them a half hour ago." Towels were replaced after this, with hand towels. Room was clean though.

Could not change the TV channel. I called the front desk to send someone up but they never showed up.
Coffee maker did not work.
Bring your own pool towel. Their pool towels are very small.

Hotel was fair. Not the best but not the worst. Could stay again but not rushing back. Could have been cleaner overall. Especially common areas and pool and hottub water. There was a sauna in pool area, that was great. One slide which was good. Lacked enough supplies. Our room had no remote and they had to give us one from room next door. Sheets were stained which was weird. We also couldn’t get extra towels or pillows because there weren’t any. We ended up getting one pillow and had to go down to front desk to get them to give us towels. Staff was nice. Location was good. Able to walk to everything.

Enjoyed staying at the hotel. Clean and great location. I would suggest to add a box of tissues in the room along with bottled water and cups to use the coffee machine. Other than that great hotel.

Great, convenient place to stay near downtown Plymouth. Spent 2 nights over winter break with two children aged 6. Indoor pool with water slide is a great perk as well as CJs restaurant in the lobby. Family friendly, great staff, great food. Spent one day at nearby Edaville Railroad for an excellent winter family getaway.
