Disliked: Amenities
The tv was broke took me about an hour to get it to work had to hook up wire and it had to be turned a specific spot for it to work. The heater was set on 61 but it didn’t control the heat and had to get up multiple times to turn it on and off The bathroom door was about to fall off and the toilet seat was not secure on the toilet in for Med guest services about the issues and they didn’t seem to care. Was told at check-in breakfast was at 6 when we went down for breakfast at 6 the told us it didn’t start til 630. Might be minor issues except the heat but when you add them all up it makes for a bad experience room 213

Breakfast was decent, check in was decent. However, its all very outdated. And there are hidden fees everywhere. There is a daily "safe fee" even if you dont use the safe... you have to opt out at check in, but they dont tell you that.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to take a polar plunge indoors, this is your place! The pool area is proudly kept at a brisk 64 degrees—perfect if you’re a penguin. The “hot” tub clocks in at a toasty 98 degrees, which, to be fair, is about the temperature of a mildly annoyed cup of tea. When we asked if they could turn the heat up, management basically said, “Nope, we like our guests crisp and refreshed.” Kids didn’t mind—they’re basically amphibians—but every adult was huddled in hoodies, clutching towels like survival blankets. To make things even cozier, there’s a strict “no beverages of any kind” policy in the pool area. Not even a harmless can of beer while supervising the kids. No glass? Reasonable. No food? Fine. But no beverages at all? That’s a level of dryness I didn’t expect to experience poolside. Between the chill and the prohibition, the fun-to-hypothermia ratio was… unfavorable. Later, we asked if our group could use the breakfast area to eat pizza together one night. After some serious negotiation (I think we were one “pretty please” away from a hostage situation), they reluctantly agreed—but only if we cleaned it ourselves and personally escorted our trash to the dumpster out back. Nothing says “hospitality” like being handed a rag and told, “Good luck!” All in all, it’s a budget hotel, and you absolutely get what you pay for—just make sure to pack a parka, your own mop, and low expectations for warmth or welcome.
