Pulled in late-they had a flood. Curtains in room were shoddy. Don’t know that they were fully renovated and should have been open for business!

The TV did not work, there was no microwave, and there was a hole in the bathroom door. The breakfast was negligible. I did not leave, but I would not have stayed a 2nd night.

The property wasnt very clean, they are doing renovations at the property,regardless if it is open for business then it should be clean. I had to go to the front desk to get linens for the bed as it was not made. There was no cover on the bathroom exhaust fan & paint on ths bathroom fixtures. The were no towels or a bath mat for the jetted tub. The staff was polite but not very knowledgeable on the property. Maybe once the renovation is completed it wull be different.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The experience began with a literal "walk of hazards" as the kids, barefoot and hopeful for the pool, had to navigate exposed carpet tack strips only to find the swimming pool under renovation. They retreated to the room in total disappointment, but the house didn't stay quiet for long. ​The moment they sat on the bed: Bang! The sound was violent enough to make you wonder if someone was practicing on a steel drum or popping a massive dent out of a truck hood. In reality, it was just the bed frame's structural contortion protesting the weight of a third-grader. Between that and the lukewarm shower—complete with a mold-spotted curtain—the infrastructure left much to be desired. ​However, the stay wasn't without its saving graces: ​Pet Friendly: Finding a place that allows the whole family (including the four-legged members) is a definite plus. ​Clean Linens: Despite the noisy frame, the bed itself was notably clean. ​Neutral Olfactory Experience: Surprisingly, there were no "questionable" or lingering smells, which is a rare win for a budget-tier room. ​If you’re traveling with pets and prioritize a clean sheet over a quiet bed or a hot shower, this might work—just watch your step on the carpet transitions.
