Check in is at the Crown hotel next door. Room was a little dated but right near the lake and town, close enough to walk to attractions. Room has a coffee maker similar to keurig, but would not fit k cups or other brands. So if you are one to bring your own coffee, it won’t work here.

The pool and Waterpark are the reasons we stayed here. The pools and pool area could use some attention, but it was decent enough. I did step on something sharp in the Waterpark area which had to be pulled out of my foot and bled a lot, so I've got that going for me. Here's hoping for no infections!

Definitely underwhelming. Should pass

The photos show breakfast. No breakfast. Pool hours are limited to either new or multi day guests. The pool hours are short so it is not meant to be used by guests as they please. Other guests mentioned complaints regarding not working showers and misleading breakfast information. Room was clean ish but many things about this are misleading.

Free breakfast was advertised online, but I was told "no breakfast" only coupons for local restaurants. The carpet was so dirty that our shower floor was grey at first. Wallpaper in corridor was peeling showing black mold behind. To get to the pool we needed to cross over to another building, walk over 100 yards, take an elevator with smelly carpet to the third floor then walk down two flights to get to the pool door. The spa jets weren't working. Black mold on the pool deck edge. Refrigerator froze the food. Staff was not rude but cold and not particularly helpful.

AC,fridge don’t work, waterpark needs cleaning!

There was no phone in the room to even call the front desk to let them know the fridge wasn’t getting cold. No tv remote, Had to walk there to the desk and tell them when we got back to our room that evening , along with the AC cutting off every couple of minutes. I was literally sweating when I walked to front desk to tell them…. And I was told “there was nothing maintenance could do tonight for the AC” . And I mentioned switching rooms but they that they were sold out… when I came back to tell them there was no tv remote either along with no phone , room temperature fridge and the ac cutting out and it was ridiculous at a rate over $200 I’d atleast expect AC to work ( this was after 11pm my kid was asleep ) miraculously they weren’t sold out and had a room they could switch me to …. I’m like I really don’t want to at this point since my kid is asleep… said they’d send maintnece but didn’t know when he’d come,could be an hour…. And that I could talk to manager in morning! I did that before I checked out , and because I prepaid online he offered me a “ free night stay” in the future if less than 80% occupancy.wrote it on scrap paper said he had to type up something official in system and he’d email me it…. It’s been over 2weeks, I emailed him but have yet to get any response !!!!!and the free waterpark, is shared amongst other properties, pipes look old needs replaced, pool deck cleaned. Outdoor pool needed cleaning , looked very ifff!
