It was a good experience and I felt like we got what we paid for!
Pros:

The ladies at the front desk were excellent! They were able to assist with anything that we need and made sure that we were comfortable and taken care of. We were traveling with a group of 20 kids for youth camp and they thoroughly enjoyed staying there! With that being said, we enjoyed our stay and it was very welcoming and comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful and so fresh!

Cons:

We were a little underwhelmed with the room as they did not reflect what was posted on the website. The pool was super cloudy and heavily chlorinated which was a huge letdown. Some of the added amenities such as the karaoke and the game room tv were not functional so that was a bit of a disappointment.

Disappointed
Pros:

Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

The shower is awful. The beds aren't very comfortable. There are no hangers in the closets. The drawers/door in the dresser won't close very well. The fridge doesn't keep water cold.
The pool opens too early. I was awakened by yelling children. There is only one working elevator. In a hotel this big and spread out, there should be at least 2. Only 2 staircases. And only one way outside unless you want to set off alarms. For $180/night, I shouldn't have to hike just to get to my car.

Pros:

really pretty inside nice decor nice restaurant/bar

Cons:

facilities were either closed or just kinda ass like the “golf course” was just a small circle that people kept walking through and the little pillows they used for cornhole didn’t even fit in the holes, the game room looked run down.. the “free breakfast” is just coffee and waffles the actual breakfast like eggs and sausage and stuff you have to pay for

Angenehmer Stopp auf einem Roadtrip
Cons:

Es war nicht leicht zu finden, trotz richtiger Adresse im Navi . Das Werbeschild des Restaurants war deutlich größer als das des Hotels.

Pros:

The only thing I can say is it was a place for my family to sleep after driving 2 days on our cross country move.

Cons:

The property was nothing like the pictures shown on Booking.com. The hotel was located in a sketchy area, the parking felt unsafe, and the facilities were extremely run-down.

When we walked up to our room, there was a drunk woman and a man sitting directly outside our door. They were loud, disruptive, and refused to move. The room doors barely closed properly, which only added to the feeling of insecurity.

I was genuinely concerned for my family’s safety throughout our stay. This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had, and I would not recommend this property to anyone traveling with family.

May be an iconic stay but definitely not a rememberable one.
Pros:

The indoor activities for the little ones was nice to have especially after a full day of driving. The lady who served breakfast was very nice and was working her tail off by herself serving and cleaning the area.

Cons:

The beds were very hard and the room AC didn’t work well as the room was too warm and stuffy. The front of the hotel appeared nice but once you drove around to park you realized it was not kept up and appeared to be quite sketchy.

Nothing they advertised works and it feels like it’s falling apart.
Pros:

Key code to get in your door and online check in convenient - but they never actually texted me the code in advance I still had to wait at the front desk. They have great hype on social media and in theory it would be great but nothing worked. Will not recommend.

Cons:

The indoor pool makes the whole place feel like a swamp. Kids playground was closed during the posted open hours to the point we never got to try it before having to leave (this was the point of staying here) they said it was “drying”… the slide in the lobby violently shoots kids out and knocks them around inside both of ours came out crying. The room looks like you just painted over everything without fixing anything. Giant wardrobe unsecured it moved and leaned every time we opened it. The plumbing in the bathroom pulled out of the wall when you used it. Double beds are tiny idk why a hotel wouldn’t do queens there is room.
