It was raining cats and dogs so we didnt expect to use outdoor amenities but the night manager was very nice and upgraded our room. The place was spotless and smelled great. We had a great nights sleep. Thank you again.

Family trip, celebrating a birthday. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom door did not close correctly and the TV controller did not work the first night. We love the indoor pool, spa, and the korn hole game. The second night, the family above us was super noisy. The kids seemed to be running and jumping around. It was hard to sleep.

I will never stay here again. The sheets/comforter had yellow stains, a cigarette burn, bath towel had an orange stain, and the room had a smell. Our room was handicapped and the shower curtain was short which caused the water from the shower to spill out leaving puddles of water. I was told my sheets would be replaced and they never did. Our key stopped working the second night and had to use the Kiosk to speak to someone since the office was closed. This place is not worth the money. The beds were hard and very uncomfortable. So much money spent for us not to have clean sheets and towels.

There is absolutely no where to put your things or unpack. There is no closet and no furniture other than a desk w no drawers. Everything is far if you are on other end and upstairs. If you place a deposit your deposit is not refunded at checkout and I was told that it could take 5-10 days even when a credit card was used not debit card. I would not stay here again.
