The music played in the water park was very loud during the day, but it sounded like the speakers were directly under our room so that would probably be why.

It was the worst experience I have ever had! The pool was disgusting! The breakfast was nasty. Everything was dirty. No tables were wiped down the floor had stains. It’s almost like it has never been cleaned. I wouldn’t even call the breakfast a breakfast.

What a rip off. This place is absolutely gross. It's a place I wouldn't take a $3 hooker to. Save your hard earned money and pass. Pubic hair in the tub, mattress that is like a brick, they are praying on busy weekends to float and rip you off. Don't do it! I've stayed in plenty of holes but this one is nasty.

We just three nights for a big dart tournament there. Upon entering our room one bed was broke on one side and the TV would t work. I personally went to the front desk Fri morning to let them know and they said they would check on it. Fri night went to tell them and Sat morning still not one person was going to check on it. So overall their only solution was to move us. Sorry didn’t want to pack up our stuff and go upstairs.
