No thank, you. Never again.

From the moment we arrived, this was a rather painful experience. I actually had thought I was either in a Laurel and Hardy movie or being punked and on camera. We arrived to a sign taped to the door telling us to check-in at a facility across the street as there was no one working at the time. So, we went across the street, were told we could not have a room until 5pm, despite my written request and written confirmation at the time of making the reservation that it would be ok. After some push back, they found 2 rooms available and clean in the empty building. When we tried to check in, their system went down and one of the employees had to drive to the original building - the one we were actually staying at - to check us in. We check in, and all is ok. The rooms were ok the shower head was horrible and the water control was from the 19th century maybe. So, we leave the following day, and I get a call stating that there was only 2 charge made and no sales slip, or whatever. I explained that my bank showed 2 charges, and the person took it upon themselves to talk over me repeating that there was only one slip. Not my issue, and I repeated that I was charged so my end of the deal was upheld. We then got an email stating the same. My bank charges for both rooms are still there. Come Sunday, I decide to call to make sure, and was told that was a different agent, by an agent who continually interrupted me and spoke over me with a condescending voice.

Lacking, won't return

The parking lot was a sheet of ice with no attempt to ice it. Very scary to walk on. We only had 1/4 roll of TP in our room with limited front desk hours it was hard to get another roll so we had to take industrial roll from public bathroom. The space on the floor where the carpet changes to tile at the bathroom was exposed causing me to step on something sharp. Hot tub at water park wasn't working. A plastic knife sat in the stairwell for 3 days so must not get cleaned regularly. Beds were comfortable and you can use pool at Hamilton which was nice.

Our experience at this motel was a bit frustrating.I hate complainers so I'll express only the most important things. In order to check in we had to check in across the road. The hot tub was not "hot"( which can allow bacteria to grow, that made me nervous to use it at all) and the water park system kept breaking down. The hours of operation are limited so that makes it a "pain" when it breaks again! Our 2nd night the water park was working again and there was a man who was intoxicated and wouldn't leave us alone. We ended up heading up to our room after about 45 minutes because the man was making us uncomfortable and in our face. Needless to say the kids were disappointed and since we were leaving the next day and the waterpark doesn't open till 2 pm we didnt have a chance to try to enjoy it one last time

Not the best

When we first got there someone went in to use the bathroom and it was already clogged. There was pee platter on the toilet. In the corner of the bathroom there was some mold. Food splattered on the wall. In the water park area there was literal muck in the corner, the hot tub was barely warm and the water for the kids part kicked off every 1-2 minutes. For how much we paid we definitely left disappointed.
