Wasn’t overly impressed. Lights flickered in hallways and rooms. Bathroom was dirty. TV buffered every couple minutes.

First let me share the good. The pool was awesome, the lazy river and activity area are cold but the main pool was warm. The breakfast was also not bad. Now for the bad, I noticed a lot of really gross stuff on our hotel room walls, the walls in the bathroom were peeling, our tv would glitch when we tried to watch anything, the food from La Cantina made us sick and was obviously warmed up in a microwave. We loved our stay 2 years ago but this time was a major disappointment.

No likes. Made a complaint to Expedia. DO NOT PROMOTE THIS HOTEL!!!. It is filthy, not maintained. Unsafe garbage laden stairs to go to room. We have never experienced anything like it.

Where do I start...the numerous "temporarily out of order" signs on almost everything. The pool was cold. They say the heater went out. I wouldn't expect it to be fixed soon since everything else seems to be broken as well. The bottom of the hotub was sandy and grimy. The walls and bedding had stains, our bathroom toilet wouldn't flush properly, our mini fridge smelled up the room when we opened it, the tv channels were frozen even when they "rebooted" the system, and there was no service/wifi in our room. I asked for another room and all I received was excuses. I will never stay here again.

Convenient parking right at the nearest entrance to our room. Great pool and waterpark area that the grandkids loved (and wore them out sufficiently that they were in bed and asleep early).

The outside looked nice and a decent location The parking lot was dark, the hallways and stairs were dark. The hallways smelled and the main entrance smelled like old grease. The breakfast was horrible. The rooms were not clean the bed blankets were stained and had holes in them. The mattress had stains. The bathroom had mold. It did have hot water. It didn’t have internet. The outlets were so old the charger plug wouldn’t stay plugged in. Some outlets didn’t work. You could feel the springs in the mattress.

The pool area was a hit with the kids, but the lazy river water was freezing cold. The water needs to be much warmer to be safe for kids to be in it for longer than five or ten minutes.
