This motel advertises the "blue water slide" that is NOT working. I had paid extra to stay at this facility because my Grandchildren working meeting us there. We were NEVER told that the waterslide was closed until AFTER my Grandchildren arrived. I feel that this is FALSE ADVERTISING. EXTREMELY disappointed
