The staff there were very helpful and friendly. I paid in advance through Expedia and for whatever reason Fairfield didn't have the payment on their end. I showed the receipt I received through Expedia, they made and gave me my key cards and said not to worry about it, get some rest and they'll contact Expedia and take care of it. When I got to the room it was spotless and cozy with a welcome message on the television screen. I will definitely be staying with them again.

Large volume of people and difficulty keeping common areas clean. No towels at pool and when brought to staff attention no resolution. Hot tub crowded with adults and their infants or toddlers. More children in hot tub than adults.

I hate to give a poor rating because a few things were good such as some of the staff were kind and room was clean when we arrived. It was also nice being able to use the tables in the lobby area to play games and eat dinner with others. However, the breakfast was terrible and the juice dispenser was basically water. Also, we were there for 3 nights and our room was not cleaned at all the entire time. Another family said the staff told them at check in that their would be cleaned every other day, but that did not happen for their room either. So whatever the cleaning schedule is for rooms, it should be communicated more clearly. Hallway floors were also not cleaned. The water park was packed and without clean towels. Hot tub was full of kids and parents with babies so that made it difficult for some adults to be able to enjoy at least 1 "adult only" area.
