Belinda

Liked: Room comfort
The room was very clean nice lake view from the balcony. The waterfront had several lifeguards. Had waterslides,water baketball, water volleyball. Wadind pool and slide for younger kids. Nice refrigerator in room. No phone or microwave. Everything was scanned. So just having a flip phone wasn't very helpful. No restaurants.

The internet was too slow. We couldn't use the ROKU tv because of a "network error". Paying that much for a room and the TV didn't work properly was disappointing.

Won’t stay again

For the high price we found out we only received two free swim passes and had to pay for the other two. Reception at front desk was not friendly and was somewhat scolded when I asked for more towels. The AC did not work and I had to fix myself in the middle of the night. Doors were in poor condition and pillars holding up the balconies looked like they were about to fall over. The pool was nice and pool staff was good. There was no breakfast option either.

Disappointing!

Rooms were clean but neighboring rooms were very noisy and comfortable sleeping was a huge disappointment. I would not recommend staying in your hotel. Thanks!

Lobby was horrible, and our room was small. Advertised as 2 bedroom but didn’t even have a table. No place to get coffee in the morning besides in the room or leaving the property. Too crowded in the pool area.

Just an OK vacation with family nearby. We thought we had a first level room by the pictures we looked at, and instead we had a fourth-floor room that had no view of the lake, and of course we had very noisy neighbors after 10 pm. The price was extreme for what we received, we were there 3 nights and had to ask for clean towels. The pool was very cloudy, and no towels each day we went, and adults were the worst, they left their acholic drinks all over, and we got to see the police come in due to bad adults, just what you want your grandkids to see. Too long of a line at check-in, one person at counter. So over all less then ok for the price.

The check in process was deplorable. We waited in a line for 45 min to check in. Check in time was 5:00 but our room was not ready for us until 7 pm. There was no apology or compensation. We also could not use our complimentary water park and pool passes as the facilities were shut down for another event.

Not worth the money

The pool area was dirty with beer cans and old drink cups laying around. Our neighbors were very noisy and had a party in which they decided to take over our patio, which was disruptive to our stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
liked the view, new building, water park Didn't like that the wifi reception was so weak on fourth floor of blue building, i could not connect my computer on a 3 day two night stay. (Room 415) That's unacceptable. Please fix it. Also didn't like only one open electrical outlet on each side of the bed if you want to have the lamp light plugged in. I have a c pap machine to help me breathe, and want to recharge my phone at night by my bedside. Would normally want a third outlet to recharge my computer at bedside as well, but it didn't matter cause the wifi sucked. Can't believe you built a new modern building in this era with inadequate electrical plug-ins. Whose idea was that?
