We were kept up most of the night of our stay by young girls running through the hall and knocking on doors. At one point there was a man yelling so load it echoed through the pool room because he was tired of the noise. When we told the front desk nothing was offered.

The location of our room wasn't ideal, we were on the ground floor right behind the lounge/buffet area and we could hear the music playing and people who were in the lounge at night which made sleeping difficult. The breakfast buffet itself was underwhelming, less food options on Friday than on the weekend. I am at least happy that our rooms were clean and that check in and out was easy.

When we initially went to check in we were told our room wasnt ready. The pool was over crowded due to a party, the hot tub was out of service. We reserved a room worh a jacuzzi tub and the water in the room wasn't warm luke warm at best. There were kids running the halls all hours of the night being loud also loud music being played in the middle of the night. In the morning a couple was fighting in the hall and the food was thrown at one if them and all through the hallway..we booked this for our anniversary and was a complete let down.

The staff was fine. The property seems dated, and I felt like I was in 1987. Functionally things were in working order, although weekday breakfast was poor. May try again as price was very reasonable though.

I was not informed that the hot tub was out of service, that is one of 2 main things we look for in a place to stay. I also saw on the site that the hotel had a family friendly game/arcade and they do not, they said they have skills machines when i called to ask questions regarding the game room. My keys worked for the front door but not the door to go out to the pool. I also was told they could not open the pool until 10am because they are vety strict about that rule so the lady at the front desk said we could stay and check out at 12. The pool was late opening up there was 4 families waiting 10 minutes to get in before leaving and then at 11:15 someone from the front desk called and asked what was going on if i was staying another night, i told her we was told we could check out at 12 so she said um ok ill note that.

This property has massive potential. We are locals that look for relaxing nights away. We are a busy couple so finding quiet, relaxing local Hotels are important to us. My comments were reserved to contacting the property directly, I will not publicize my entire thoughts. Our experience was tainted by poor etiquette from the neighboring room. We liked that our room had a jetted tub. It was clean. The bed was a little lumpy but tolerable. So overall 3/5. 5/5 cleanliness. There were staff moping floors and cleaning even at 10pm. So they care about cleanliness. Breakfast 3/5. Front desk staff told us the wrong breakfast hours so we did not get to participate but it looked delicious. 3/5 staff. Front desk staff at check in was meh. At check out they listened to my concerns and appeared to look into what happened. 2/5 property conditions. It’s an older facility and it shows. But we give this rating because the smell of cigarettes were everywhere and it’s off putting. 4/5 area around the property. It’s okay. Overall I’d probably recommend and I hope to give it a try again.
