Worst hotel ever
Pros:

This hotel is garbage. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Dirty, unkempt, and the owners obviously don’t care because there are the same reviews from 2 years ago and nothing has changed. Do NOT stay here.

Ok at best
Pros:

What breakfast, we weren’t offer breakfast

Cons:

Outsides of the rooms were dirty. Entry into room had no lighting, at night you entered the room in the dark. Cobwebs in stairs, cigarette butts laying all over by the stairway. Bathroom had a soft spot in front of toilet.

Pros:

While I liked being on the ground floor and that each of our rooms had its own front porch, the rooms themselves could use updating. The few outlets there were couldn’t hold a plug. The bathroom needs hooks for towels, wet swimsuits, etc, and a microwave would be useful. We were excited about the indoor pool and water park, however, the water looked green and cloudy, and my grandchildren kept finding hair, and bugs in the water.

Dirty
Pros:

We unfortunately had some issues with the room and decided to leave shortly after checking in. We reserved a single
quenn room specifically for personal reasons and were given a two bed room. When we asked if we could switch or be refunded they said they do not have any other rooms and can not refund but will change the sheets if it makes us feel better. We then heard house cleaning complaining about having to change the sheets. Pass not getting the reserved room type the room itself was grose. There was a clear musty mold smell coming from one of the beds, there was a large amount of dust was on the pine walls above the headboards and a few french fries on the floor making us feel like the room was not cleaned. The tv area has a jungle of visual wires on the dresser and the tv remote was found underneath the bed. The bathroom shows signs of water damage and potential mold along with a spider web one of the shower corners. The smell made my gf nauseous and we decided to cut our trip short a day instead if staying here. No refund was given even though room was grose. Property has serious potential but failed in upkeep and basic functions.

Pros:

We really enjoyed the waterpark but if it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t have been satisfied at all. Our room floor was very dirty and the beds were not comfortable .

A few issues
Pros:

Lodge rooms need renovation. Bathroom smell of mildew/mold. The beds cratered &need replaced, but neither of us found them so poor we could not sleep. The room was large and clean, but overall a bit lacking. We enjoyed the location and the lodge feel.
