Arrived 45 mins after check in and were unable to check in. Staff seemed stress and my check in felt more of a burden than welcoming. Also giving free drink tickets isn’t a fix.

Horrible.

The access to the room is difficult. Checking is was difficult. Room keys stopped working after the 1st day for multiday trip. Fixtures in bathroom just fell off the wall. Pool was closed when stated it was open talking to the front desk. Remote for tv rarely worked.
