Our family booked this location based on the pool amd water slide. We were not informed at check-in the pool was closed for renovations. We were in town for a baseball tournament and wanted to enjoy the pool between games. Had we been told prior to checking in we would have looked for another cheaper option.

The pool is closed. This is the second time I’ve stayed here in 6 months and it’s been closed both times. No warning prior to booking. They are remodeling and there is stuff sitting all over outside and the inside is messy.

Pool closed

Our stay was fine, however the pool was closed for repairs. The reason we chose this hotel was for the pool/slide- so disappointing for kiddos!
