Not family friendly
Pros:

The location was perfect and the guy I spoke to at the desk the day of check in was absolutely amazing

Cons:

Hood music blasting at the pool with profanities non stop from 10am to 9pm. Seemed to have a crowd like a motel 6 would have. A guy walked out and did a drug deal right next to us. The pizza hut lady dropped her kids off at the pool and left to go to work saying it's a free babysitter. The hot tub water was dark gray in color and filled with kids grass trash. Also if they offer the free pool upgrade do not take it. The room was decent but our patio became everyone's party spot. For 168$ on a Saturday night I would never expect any of this. Within the first hour we were there 2 couples came to check in and ran back to their car unable to get out of there fast enough have stayed in places under 100 a night and never ever experienced this. When I spoke to front desk staff several times they all acted as though they had no clue why someone would ask if this was all "normal" or a one time thing.

Did not stay. Got refund and left.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

1st room had a smell. Second room smelled better but had a worm flopping around in the toilet. My mom’s room had mold on the ceiling. Toilets were filthy in both rooms. We got a refund and went elsewhere.
