Horrible experience. Room smelled musty and old. The pool was so crowded my kids couldn’t swim. There were also kids throwing chairs in the pool and no one did anything about it. Will never go back to this hotel.

Room was clean, service was great. We showed up pretty late and the young lady woking the front desk helped us out immensely I needed towls, a comforter and pillow for the pull-out couch and I think she ran to get them! People will think it's dated but its just the theme of the hotel. My family enjoyed it room, pool, and breakfast!

Was like stepping back in time -- reminded me of staying in Super 8s as a kid. Dated decor and an itty bitty TV wayyyyyyy in the far corner away from the bed. It was frankly comical.

Our stay was wonderful. Very friendly staff and the pool and hot tub were very welcome after a full day of driving. The kids loved you could go from indoors to outdoors without getting out of the pool. We loved it here!!

We had a nice stay. Couple things...the ice machine on our floor was not working so we had to go to another floor to get ice. The pool was great, but the weekend we stayed, there was also a group of baseball families staying so the kids took over the pool, and even the parent didn't remind their kids that they needed to remember to share the space with other patrons.

We stayed in the room with bunk beds with a family of 5. Everything was great, and kids loved it. The pool was an indoor/outdoor and there was a hot tub.

We had a wonderful experience and would stay again. Helpful, friendly staff made it even better. We stayed in the wilderness room and really enjoyed the theme room. Including seeing the raccoon outside! The pool was wonderful for the kiddos and adults! Great breakfast! Sweet lady running the area.
