We were on a floor with multiple people traveling in a group and were loud both nights till after midnight. We complained about the music, yelling and congregating in the hall. Kids were ding dong ditching on the doors at 11:30 pm as well as the smell of weed. My daughters and I came back to the hotel at 10:45pm from a dance competition and needed to be up early the next day so I went right back down to complain when I was told others had and they were contacting them only to find out they were calling my room. So I have no idea if it was taken care of because it continued for another hour.

Big party room in room 221 and we were across the hall in 224. Called for earplugs 10:20pm for kids running up and down the hall screaming and unsupervised for awhile, guy said he would bring earplugs and check it out, but nothing. Called again 10:50pm and talked to the front desk lady now, started walking down to reception to get them myself at 11:03pm when nobody showing up, got earplugs and lady rolled her eyes when asked if could call them on 221 and ask to be respectful of the others, as 221 was also just getting a big bag of food delivered to the room, so assuming their party was going for awhile. I had asked for a quiet room at check in and the front desk person assured me it was. Nope.

Overall good stay. Would stay again.

The room was clean. The pool was really nice and heated. Overall a really nice stay but the pancake machine was down for breakfast. The noise was overall quiet expect we heard a lot of doors opening and closing through the stay. The TV blocked out most of it though.

Hoped for Better

The property had a great location for our needs. Unfortunately, the stay overall was a bit underwhelming. Breakfast was undercooked and egg discs were still runny, pool was out of towels at one point leaving us unable to leave on time when the pool was closing. Housekeeping didn’t make it to our room even with the sign removed and us out of the room before 9 and there were some stray hairs in the bathroom and on the bed.
