The room was nice but the TV did not connect digitally and the only staff person on duty did not know how to fix it and could not offer us a different room. We had no TV during our entire stay. Also, the workout room was filled with tables and chairs and had no workout equipment.

Nice place to stay

We had a very nice one night stay at Fossil Creek. The staff was helpful and friendly. Good breakfast, with lady cooking eggs and omelets. Children really enjoyed pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.

There were bed bugs at the property. We checked under the mattress the first 5 minutes we stepped foot in the room. Notified the staff and expedia we were checking out and leaving. Did not want any room at a property with bed bugs so we checked out and left. They charged us the full amount on a 5 minute stay when their property wasn’t even all the way full. Not even a partial refund. Never stay here.

Hoorible beds

Stay was good but beds were hard as rocks. The floor was softer then the beds. Me and my wife slept like absolute crap due too the rock hard beds. And the breakfast had no flavor or decent food.
