Poor service and bad stay

Well we got there early and was told room wasn't ready so we waited outside and then watched other people come in get their room and then bring their car to the door to unload their belongings. So we waited a while longer and some other people came did the same so I went and questioned it was told couldn't get in until 3 because that was check in time so I confronted the lady about it and she got upset stating they already had a room. More less just lied to my face. Will not stay there again. Beds are hard. Breakfast wasn't great watered down gravy cold sausage was half cooked. Cinnamon rolls was good. Pancake maker tore up people couldn't get it to work right

Okay, but could use some attention

The staff was pleasant and friendly. The room was a good size and clean. My grandchild loved the pancake machine at breakfast and I appreciated the fresh coffee. The pool was cloudy, which concerned me because I question how well the pool is maintained. The door to our room slammed if you let go of it, but it didn't close. It took me a moment to notice when we left the room but it wasn't closed (and therefore not locked) when it slammed closed. The housekeeper gave us new towels while we were away (great), but didn't make sure the door was closed when she left. When we returned, our door was ajar, not locked and not closed. I didn't feel very comfortable with that. The common areas were not that clean and the kitchen staff at breakfast seemed overworked. Sometimes they were attending to trash outside during the breakfast rush. Someone else should be attending to outdoor trash while the kitchen staff attends to breakfast.
