Mostly horrible stay

The waterslide was not working in the pool half of our time there and The entire hotel Reeked like chlorine giving my husband a headache and causing my husband to be unable to sleep our entire stay, there were no stations on the television and except a couple of crappy ones with far too many commercials in the smallest television we have ever seen! I would like a voucher for a different hotel or a refund or something because we were disappointed for so many reasons!

I truly love the location of this hotel. It is right in the heart of downtown Plymouth. There is so much to keep the kids busy within the area. My only complaint is regarding cleanliness in the pool area. At the top of the slide "the mayflower" there is water that you can tell has been sitting for a while. You can see mold and algae forming at the top. The pool dividers were also almost brown kind of like a rusting brown color. The water looked fine it was just the surroundings in the pool area. That entire area needs a really good cleaning. Specially the sitting water at the top. If this water gets mixed in with the slide/ pool water it will definitely not be safe for children and adults. Mold is pretty dangerous to our health. Other than that the staff was very friendly and awesome.

The kids loved the pool and arcade area. My daughter enjoyed the spa. The pool area could really use some updating. Convenient location and parking. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and quiet. Restaurant was closed two of the days we were there, but there were plenty of other options. I would have given a 5 except for the pool area.

Been staying there for 3 years now. Never had an issue whichbis why we returned. This past week, they had issues with hot water. We moved rooms 3 times. They neglected to post or inform customers that the kitchen was not open for breakfast duebto a Mother's Day Brunch, which was not posted anywhere on the property. Ownership needs to update there communication process, as well as the condition of the parking lot. It is starting to look very outdated.

Very friendly; good location; cold showers

The front desk staff were wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay, except when it came time to shower. The water never got warm enough and since there wasn't a ton of pressure, it took me more time in there than I really wanted. I completely understand lowering the pressure to save water, and if the temperature was hot enough it would've been fine, but I was frozen and just wanted out!

A great stay

The room was newly renovated and in great shape. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is awesome to explore downtown Plymouth. Parts of the facility are tired because of the age of the property, but you can tell improvements are being made constantly. A great stay overall! Note: if you use the pool, they only have the slide open when a lifeguard is on duty. The lifeguards are high school students who are only available in the late afternoons and evenings (during school season).
