For $200 a night, we expected more. The curtains were stained, the tub enamel was chipped in several places, there was jewelry from a previous occupant under the sink, and the walls were paper thin. Our neighbors arrived shortly after us, also less than pleased, and we heard every word for our entire stay. Including bathroom habits. We were given one washcloth for two adults, three towels, and a bath mat. At check in we were offered a hot breakfast with discounted attraction tickets or a visa gift card if we “just visited a room at the main resort in case we would want to stay there next time”- a clear time share ploy. Just generally not the experience we expected based on other reviews.

The good abt the room and hotel was the location and the river view. The bad was having to kill a bug crawling on the ceiling and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The rooms definitely need to be remodeled.

Scott

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The rooms were not as advertised in pictures. We were given the wrong room to begin with, when we entered the room there was a dead bug on the bed. We then got reassigned to what was to be our room we booked and it was supposed to be one of their renovated room, which was not the cased. The room was very dated and the tub was dirty among so many other issues. There is a door in between rooms and the neighbors were so loud we took an audio recording from across our room and took several complaints to the front desk. We ended up packing our vehicle that same night and left. Will keep posted on any and all refunds we requested and expect.
