My last stay was very wonderful! This stay was not so pleasant. I bring my family here so my son could play in the pool and enjoy his time here after having to ride a long ride from Wisconsin so his daddy can fight cancer. The pools was shut down so he could not play. The room seemed clean. I layed him down and thought all was well. As I pulled the comforter back low and behold my 21 month old was laying in sand! I only noticed after I layed down and felt grit on me then checked where he was laying. I called the front desk and informed them. I didn’t complain, or was looking for a free night stay or discount rate, I just advised her that they need to have the house keepers do their job. She got rude and hung up on me. This was not very professional.

Property was good, staff was friendly and helpful. The pool area was very busy and there were no towels available the entire time we were in the pool area (approximately an hour). I understand because of the size of the crowd but it was still a negative.

Fun pool area!

This hotel is a great stay with kids, we have stayed here one other time a few years ago. The pool is great for the littles and the bigs, as there are two areas for swimming. The slide is safe, and adds a fun element for entertainment. This visit the hot tub was broken and not in service, hoping that they are planning to fix it, as we will be back again with the kids.
