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!

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.

The first room we were given had a broken closet door and smelled musty. The second room was a bit better. We way overpaid for the quality and the price of the room if we had held off and purchased on the way to our destination. Paid double! Staff was pleasant, but the place itself was run down.

Good enough
Decent hotel. Nothing special. They don’t offer continental breakfast but instead have 50% off at two places down the road. Avoid the one with toast in the name. It was atrocious. We didn’t try the other as we ended up getting breakfast food at a store.

Walked in the room where everything looked fine until I started looking closely at things. When checking one of the beds I noticed that there were no fitted sheets on either of them, one had a top sheet tucked in to look like a fitted sheet, while the other had that and a mattress protector as a fitted sheet. The floor was badly stained, as well as the baseboards. In the bathroom the toilet was about to come off the floor with how wobbly and unstable it was, and the towels had stains. Windows were dirty and filled with cobwebs. When checking out we were not asked how our stay was and when asked about a manager was told that there were not as on site to assist.

Room was very nice, clean & bed was firm. Bathroom was also clean. Very nice location, walking distance to the center of the city. Have room coffee (not the best) and down by the reception too early mornings. Water park is really for little kids.
