This was a very nice property to stay at. Everything was well maintained, the rooms were comfortable, and the included breakfast was good for a traveling family. It has a location conveniently close to Adventure Land as well as a few restaurants. I would stay here again.

Rooms were clean, breakfast was good as well. Staff were nice. Very close to shopping, food and Adventureland! Only complaint is that the hot tub was actually disgusting! The pool was ice cold so many people went to the hot tub. When the jets were turned on…. I hopped out of there so quick. The bubbles were oily and BROWN!! The water prior to the jets turned on was murky and cloudy. I would stay here again and just avoid the whole pool area.

Disliked: Staff & service
Location was great, shopping outlet across parking lot, Bass Pro Shop really close. Staff was NOT friendly upon check-in. I tried to use a Visa GC that we received for holidays, and they couldn't figure out how to do it, lack of knowledge, and couldn't explain why. Our room didnt seem cleaned well, bathroom floor had hair on it, bedding had some stains. We also had a tremendous issue with noise, kids running up and down halls, and peolpe coming through around 3am really loud(which I realize isn't the hotel staffs fault, but they could have said something to them coming through the lobby) all in all fairly disappointing this stay, I would have overlooked it more, if the staff had been professional and friendly.
