Queen Room Review

The hotel was nice amd for the most part very clean. There was a water spot on the ceiling and some yellow stains on the bathroom wall. The bed was super hard, though, so my husband and I did nkt sleep the best. The kids said they woke up several times as well because the bed wasnt very comfortable. The staff was friendly and check-in was easy.

Beautiful view of a pond with a fountain from my window . There was a nice outdoor sitting area out there as well. The pool, and surrounding area was about half the size I had expected. It didn’t feel family friendly.

The staff is wonderful. We had car trouble and got stuck while waiting for it to be repaired. Dan, who was managing the front desk, was extremely considerate and helped me and my family feel welcomed until we got back on the road. He and the rest of the staff were very kind and accommodating. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, modern, nice and well kept.

Best hotel experience ever!

We stayed there with our 10U baseball team for State and it could not have been more perfect. They got to swim, fish, walk to Bass Pro, hang out, and enjoy their down time all at one place! I enjoyed the work out room, the mall, and close restaurants! We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Area was nice and in walking distance to many shops and a couple of restaurants. The breakfast was excellent and had many hot teas to choose from. However, the queen beds were too hard, and A/C was very hot even at 60 degrees. There was no microwave in the room, so we had to go use the lobby microwave The mini fridge froze our drinks over night. The pool was small and only 4 feet deep, which works for cooling off and small toddlers. There was a nice hot tub also.

Our check in went great but when we arrived at our room the door was propped open by the deadbolt. The man at the counter came down and fixed it immediately. Then, when we complained that the dog next door was continuously barking, he gave us a different room. Bed was very comfortable and the rest of our stay was great. We will definitely stay there again.

Rooms were clean, breakfast was good as well. Staff were nice. Very close to shopping, food and Adventureland! Only complaint is that the hot tub was actually disgusting! The pool was ice cold so many people went to the hot tub. When the jets were turned on…. I hopped out of there so quick. The bubbles were oily and BROWN!! The water prior to the jets turned on was murky and cloudy. I would stay here again and just avoid the whole pool area.
