5.8
Multiple guests reported moldy smells (carpet and air conditioning), dirty pool and unclean hallways/stairs; some rooms were noted as clean but overall inconsistent cleanliness.

Numerous reports of friendly, helpful and hardworking front desk and staff; isolated problems with shuttle driver knowledge, staff behavior (on phone/swearing) and billing/communication reduced the score slightly.
Location

Frequently described as convenient, easy to find and within walking distance of local venues; location consistently cited as a positive.

6.8
Rooms often comfortable and quiet but several mentions of dated bathrooms, torn screens, noisy poolside placements and maintenance issues (remote problems, moisture/ceiling issues).
Amenities
7.4
Water park and on-site bar/restaurant are clear strengths for families, but pool/slide closures and some broken or limited features were reported; shuttle/transport service also inconsistent.
Value for Money
7.8
Multiple guests described the hotel as convenient, affordable and good value for a stopover or family visit, though some felt the experience matched the lower price point.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Several explicit complaints about poor restaurant food, pricing and lack of expected breakfast service at this chain reduced this score.
Overall Experience
7.4
Generally good for families because of the water park and friendly staff, but overall experience is tempered by cleanliness, food, noise and maintenance issues.

Pros:

The rooms were really comfortable and the hotel was easy to find and access. Check in was fast and we were happy with the facilities. The water park was busy but enjoyable.

Cons:

No breakfast, I expect Wyndam hotels to provide continental breakfast, that is why I stay at these chains. This hotel did not provide that.

Wasn't horrible but wasnt good wouldnt stay here again.
Pros:

The staff were nice.

Cons:

Most of the pool was closed. They booked us right infront of the door so it was very loud when people were coming in screaming. The hotel charged me a random 85 $ that they took off but then never gave me my 25$ deposit back when I left my room spotless.

Served its purpose
Pros:

Convenient- good value- clean and comfortable

Cons:

Disappointed in shuttle service- driver may have just started but didn’t know where hotel shuttle pick up location was located - 15 minute wait turned into 40!
Had early am flight and staff was not sure how I should arrange for transport in early am - no big deal but training would assure knowledgeable staff
