Not a nice place to stay

You will not like this hotel. The rooms are extremely outdated and dirty. The front desk staff clearly don't want to be there and are not friendly or kind. My young son asked the front desk for a plastic spoon and they told him to "go across the street and buy one" When you are checking in there is a long and confusing process where they want you to sign and initial about 10 different rules. They also give you an odd lecture about ordering food from other places. According to them, Papa John's is the only pizza place that can deliver to your room and if you order Domino's you have to go across the street and stand in the cracker barrel parking lot and wait for your delivery? I'm going to add some photos of how gross the bathroom was on top of everything else. There are no nicetes. The doors did not lock. There's not even a mirror in the bedroom. Hard pass on ever saying in this hotel again. Update - I'm trying to add photos and the app won't let me.

Great value! We love the pool. Rooms are spacious! Unfortunately, half the things in the arcade steal your tokens or don’t work. Would be perfect if not for that.

Comfortable, fun, and clean!

Very clean, very cool concept of hotel. Wish more of the games worked or were communicated that they were not working. Very comfy and home like vibe. Dont recommend the free breakfast though, at the lodge, very disorganized and bland, not enough servers. The pool and play area was fantastic but definitely needed more chairs. Overall, very impressed and would stay here again!

When we were taking a shower on the 1st night, the water never got hot and the water pressure was horrible. We stayed on the 5th floor, last room on the floor. I do understand it takes a while for the hot water to travel , but it only got colder and zero water pressure. In the tub, it was worse than a kitchen sink faucet. We called the front desk and a maintenance guy came up and said it’s bc we were on the 5th floor and the last room. Nothing was done . Didn’t offer us to move to a different room. So, the next night- we tried showering at a different time and it was worse. After my daughter and me , my husband and sons water was ice cold at the end of the shower. I advised the front desk at checkout I was not happy about the water in the bathroom : no pressure and not hot. All they said was “sorry, I’ll get that checked on”. Not being able to have a decent shower, makes for a bad overall experience. I will probably never recommend this hotel or stay here again.

For a one night stay it wasn’t bad

It was a nice stay. The hotel is older and a tad rundown. Needs a good cleaning. The only issue we had was as they were fixing the elevator in the morning, They kept setting off the fire alarm. We went on the off-season, so it wasn’t crowded, which was really nice.
