Kids running around halls non stop with no adult supervision, the floors in the room are tile or lvp maybe-they look nice but they are cold and hard to dry up from water, they stay moist. The heater fan was so loud it sounded like a helicopter or jet engine landing in our room but at least it was warm. We were supposed to have queen beds and had full which was not a huge deal but they were incredibly uncomfortable including old flat pillows or ones that smashed into nothing the second you laid down. The carpets in the halls are so old and stained and ceiling tiles are showing rust spots and multiple places where they have gotten wet, tracking is broken and tiles have holes- while paint can spruce a place up it doesn't fix things that just need replaced and really updated. The person who checked me in was very kind and even asked if I was ok with him going to grab his coat before he helped me as the lobby was so cold from the door opening.

They did not have our room ready at the check in time. I was told I would get a call/text when it was ready. An hour and a half later, I went back to the desk to discover a room was finally ready. No apologies or anything. There were at least 5 dirty bandaids in the hallways and pool areas. One of which had a bloody tissue next to it in the hallway the entire stay. Staff doesn’t seems to care to pick up the trash in the hallways, just walks by it.

We rented three poolside rooms for a family of 5 adults and 4 children ranging in age from 2 - 4 for New Year Eve. Early check in was from 12 pm to 4pm. We completed the early check in at 12:30 pm and received the resort wrist bands and signed the necessary paperwork. Did this proactively in anticipation of a busy checked process at 4 p m given was told the property was sold out for the night. Was told our rooms weren’t ready yet but we should receive a text message when they were available. We didn’t receive the text message for any of the three rooms until about 5:15 pm that afternoon. We had arrived at the hotel at 4 pm since that was the beginning of the check in period. We waited in line all that time. When I asked the receptionist why we didn’t have a text yet, the receptionsaid that housekeeping was behind. There were many guests in the lobby in the same situation, told their rooms were not cleaned. When I, among others, requested to speak with the manager we were told they had stepped out and we were given a business card so to be able to email them the next day. Once we could get in the rooms, they were clean. The rooms have been updated. Beds aren’t the most comfortable, on the firm side, but for one night, doable. The pools were clean but the water was chilly. The little kids got too cold to really enjoy the pools as much as they would have if they would have been warmer. The hotel hallways were very worn out, dirty carpet and marked up wood work and walls.

We stayed for new year. 4 pm check in 3 lanes open and the line was clear back the souvenir shop. Went with a large group out of 10 rooms 2 were ready. Our room looked to have been updated but was in very poor condition. Had tile lifting throughout the room. We had pool side and the room was VERY loud. 1/2 the games in the arcade were out of order. I wouldn’t stay again…
