“Dated and average”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Imagine one of those Holidome Holidays from the 80's and you pretty much have an idea what this place is designed like. It has very few changes to make it up to date.

Even the new carpeting in the lobby area seems like 10 years old style to me, and the televisions are the big old tube types. When the competition out there is light years ahead you wonder how a place like this still exists.

The eats are ok in their pub, but still seems half way done in remodeling and just doesn't pull off a hotel bar.

The internet service is so slow my phone on edge service (think slower than 3g) had better connectivity than their wireless internet. I had to wait to open my home page and wait for emails to open.

Room Tip: Stay away from pool side if you want quiet.

“Room substandard, breakfast great, billing mistake unforgiveable”

I stayed at this hotel on Saturday night January 7, 2012. The room was like an old hotel room (someone elses socks in the corner behind the lounge chair). The free breakfast was excellent. I got home to find that my checking account (I used a debit card) was charged twice for the room and once for the meal AND a hold on my account the following Tuesday for three additional nights and one additional meal. This was over $600 on my account. The clerk said it would be taken care of in 3 to 5 days. I asked her how she would like her checking account to be hijacked like this for over a week. Still not taken care of.

“Staff members are ok but managers are terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

person found this review helpful

General Manager was very UNprofessional - never willing to solve the problem
TheGM even had an attitude. Even though she was at presence when I had a problem, she was behind line employees like it was none of her business. A frontdesk clerk tried to solve the problem instead of her. I was so mad at the GM that I was almost calling people at the corporation. I could have done it if I was not busy at that time.
- Don't go there. It's a waste of money.

Room Tip: stay somewhere else.

“Excellent Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

person found this review helpful

The staff was friendly and the rooms were nice and clean. The location of the hotel is easy to get to and the breakfast that comes with the price of the room had a wide variety and was very good. The only downside was we stayed on a room that faced the highway and occasionally you could hear truck traffic. Other than that we would definitely stay here again.

“cozy & good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

I stayed here last week. I enjoyed inside pools and the Jacuzzi.
You can also play table tennis, billiard and mini golf.
It is very easy to walk from my room to pools. I could relax and fun.
And we went to a restaurant near here.
The location is also convenient.
I would like to stay here again.
