If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to take a polar plunge indoors, this is your place! The pool area is proudly kept at a brisk 64 degrees—perfect if you’re a penguin. The “hot” tub clocks in at a toasty 98 degrees, which, to be fair, is about the temperature of a mildly annoyed cup of tea. When we asked if they could turn the heat up, management basically said, “Nope, we like our guests crisp and refreshed.” Kids didn’t mind—they’re basically amphibians—but every adult was huddled in hoodies, clutching towels like survival blankets. To make things even cozier, there’s a strict “no beverages of any kind” policy in the pool area. Not even a harmless can of beer while supervising the kids. No glass? Reasonable. No food? Fine. But no beverages at all? That’s a level of dryness I didn’t expect to experience poolside. Between the chill and the prohibition, the fun-to-hypothermia ratio was… unfavorable. Later, we asked if our group could use the breakfast area to eat pizza together one night. After some serious negotiation (I think we were one “pretty please” away from a hostage situation), they reluctantly agreed—but only if we cleaned it ourselves and personally escorted our trash to the dumpster out back. Nothing says “hospitality” like being handed a rag and told, “Good luck!” All in all, it’s a budget hotel, and you absolutely get what you pay for—just make sure to pack a parka, your own mop, and low expectations for warmth or welcome.

I was checked into a dirty 2 room suite, there was a strangers hat left on the floor plus blood on the bathroom floor and wall. When i complained i was told i would have to downgrade my room, which was not an option. Long story short it was a5 day long ordeal to get 1/2 my stay refunded, through points because they wouldn't just refund my money. The hotel assistant manager and general manner were very rude and didn't deal with the issue to my satisfaction. I would bypass this hotel everytime.
Hat left under desk from room just not being cleaned good
