Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The splash/toddler area was not open even though the pool had water in it. We were just told there was a maintenance issue. We were not informed of this before check in. It was my 2 year olds birthday and booked a room there so he could play in that area. Staff said nothing they could do. Other pools were very very overcrowded

This hotel is not well cared for. There is garbage everywhere outside - its obvious there is no outside maintenance or grounds keepers. The inside is not much better. The hallway carpets are disgusting, looks like they have never been cleaned let alone vacuumed. The room was less than mediocre. Sinks didn't drain well. You can tell they were made with cheap furnishings as they don't hold up well near moisture (seems like being poolside rooms they would use something a little more water resistant). Spoke to a cleaning staff member and they were less than friendly. Hot tub was gross. Wouldn't consider staying again.

Amy was a big help. She was patient even though she had a line 3 miles long. She was patient and cared about everything that was going on.
