The lady at check in was wonderful and patient as I had to go ask several questions and an issue upon check-in. Not sure her name as she had no name tag on. Bathroom upon entering room had urine in it. Areas of bathroom around floor were either water stained or needing replacing. We had an adjoining room. We could hear the baby on the other side crying and the mom yelling at him to be quiet. Breakfast was not the typical taste we are used to at other locations. Eggs had something in them. Sausage had no flavor. Pool was perfect temperature. Nice view of the lake off the dining area and a place to go outside and sit and enjoy the view. Area was quiet. Close to restaurants and Walmart.

The rooms were outstanding! The beds were very comfortable and we would like to know where we can purchase the pillows haha! The only issue is the pool room. It’s very very slick and the hot tub is awkward to get to and from pool. Other than that very relaxing. We stay here quite often. Will always return. Staff is always the best.

Beds were very lumpy air in the room was very dry. We tried to use the hot tub pool area and it was full of kids and parents that didn’t make them behave. I tried three times to get breakfast and everything was always empty. Breakfast and the pool was why we paid more to stay but we didn’t weren’t able to take advantage of either. I wasted my money.
