Let me save you! We were extremely disappointed. This hotel has so much potential to be amazing, but there were quite a few issues we couldn't overlook.
1. Check-in is at 4:00. We were told (multiple times) that we'd have a good chance at early check-in if we called the morning of. We called early and were told to swing by around noon. We did, but no rooms were available, and we were told to come back later. We returned at 2:30, still nothing. We waited until 3:40, and got in the check-in line. The wait was long, I finally spoke to someone at 4:20. They had limited rooms, and it felt like an act of God for them to accommodate our reservation, which had been fully paid months in advance. We ended up switching room types to avoid further waiting. I'm fine not getting early check-in, but being told there were no rooms at 4:15 was extremely frustrating after a long travel
day with a disabled person and two small kids.
2. The AC was blasting and couldn't be adjusted. I switched it to heat hours before bed, but the warmest it would get was 60 degrees. I eventually shut it off completely, and the temperature slowly started rising. The heater was clearly broken.
3. There were 5-6 stalls in the second-floor women's restroom, and 4 of them were clogged to the brim with visible waste. No one seemed to address it. I initially thought it was just poor maintenance, but the next morning, the toilet in our room wouldn't flush either, so the hotel is clearly have a larger plumbing issue.
4. Another room in our party (we booked three) had a window stuck open about 6 inches. It wouldn't move, and there was nothing they could do.
5. In the third room, a panel for the AC/heater fell down, showing thick dust everywhere, it looked like it had never been cleaned. The filter was completely black and caked, super gross, and why did it just fall down?
6. After calling multiple times, we were told it would be no problem to get a pack and play, so we left ours at home. At check-in, we were told it was "subject to availability." The check-in process was an absolute nightmare, I'm probably understating how bad it was. They did offer us a bag with water, cookies, and peanuts as an apology for the wait, so they clearly knew it was an issue. I don't understand why they didn't have more staff or support.
If you've made it this far, there were some really great things about this hotel:
1. The pool area is grea, cabanas, loungers, a bar, ping pong, cornhole, and turf for kids to play on.
2. The duck fountain in the lobby is adorable, and kids get to take a duck home. A huge win.
3. The lobby is welcoming and fairly clean, with plenty of seating and a large bar.
We will 100% stay somewhere else next time. It's disappointing because this hotel could have been great with better organization and more staffing. The staff didn't seem to be having a great time either. read more
