Check in was an absolute nightmare. Family member had made and paid for reservation earlier in the day. However desk clerk had no knowledge of it and forced us to pay with money we did not have. Could not afford the extra for rollaway bed so one family member had to sleep on the floor. One child highly allergic to mold and bathroom ceiling had mold all over it. The pool and hot tub area were wonderful but the room was small and not worth the money. More like a $49 room at a Budget Inn. Will never return
