Dated, bed full of ants.
First night seemed to go well. Hotel was dated but seemed clean enough. Second night the pull out sofa was full of crawling ants. My 8 year old refused to sleep in it. Couldn’t switch rooms because they were fully booked so opted for a roll away. Next morning front desk says they can’t do anything for a credit since we booked through a third party app 🙃 just a heads up.

Didn't expect it to be that busy on New year eve. Could not get into the hot tub due to all the kids sittting in there and using it. Had I known it would have been that busy would have went some where else. Also couldn't get into the room a little earlier.

Nice place, nice people, and nice facility. Could use a little updating in the rooms. Had a little trouble with the drain in the bathtub. No guide or info on the tv, so ni idea of what I was going to watch, or what I was watching, unless I knew of it already. Bed was good and comfortable!!
