Firstly, we were disappointed to find out the pool/hot tub/splash pad had been closed indefinitely. When I mentioned the pics still being up & that pool was still listed as an amenity when I booked online, the front desk employee gave me a rehearsed explanation about having no control over 3rd party listings & that issues such as this were covered in the policies section & I could refer there. Unfortunately, there really wasn’t much that WAS positive about what we experienced this visit. The Mexican restaurant INSIDE the hotel is the exception!! It was wonderful! Great food & even better service! We could tell that some improvements/updates had been being done. Noticed new hallway flooring, fresh paint in some areas, but all of the hallway lighting fixtures were clearly installed poorly & were crooked & some nearly coming out of the wall. In our room an updated bathroom faucet, but a curtain rod that was literally barely attached. The overhead lighting fixture wasn’t even screwed into the ceiling. There were sloppy repaint areas in the bathroom with a FILTHY door & mirror! Visible dust on the ragged lamp shades & other surfaces. Old lamp shades that wouldn’t stay tightened & had its trim falling off. The bed frame had a dangerous metal bracket twisted and exposed. The microwave sitting atop the fridge wasn’t plugged in & had no outlet within reach! Why have it sitting someplace it can’t even be used?! One front desk employee smelled horribly of cigarettes.

The room was very dated. The stopper in the bathroom sink was broken and there was a plastic fork shoved into the pipe. Stopper for the bathtub also broken. Refrigerator wouldn’t work well. TV screen would freeze frequently. Hallway wreaked like cigarette smoke. Breakfast was lacking in options. The “fitness center” was a small hotel room with the flooring ripped up and one broken stationary bike and one treadmill in it. It was bad enough that the water park was closed, but every other aspect of the hotel was also incredibly disappointing.

We picked this hotel for the pool/ swim area. When we got there we were told the pool was closed due to maintenance. For the next 3 months. We were not told this when we booked, they were not caring when we checked in; when we said that's why we wanted to stay here. VERY UPSET. We have stayed here in the past and had no issues. But this time. Very disappointing.

The room was great. Our neighbors were smoking weed the day we left so unfortunately everything stunk. The breakfast was an added plus. Not much, but just enough. The pool was questionable but it’ll be closed for a while for maintenance. This place has a lot of potential.
