The property is under construction. Hot water took a while. Mattress was poor quality. The front desk was very accommodating. Expedia was informed when we arrived and I was told I would be given a full refund. The next day I spent over an hour with your horrible staff who offered me $100!

I almost cancelled my reservation based on some of the poor reviews I read. However, the stay met my expectations. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were clean. The resort was overall quiet due to the season. There was construction in progress but it was not disruptive. I enjoyed my stay.

DONT STAY HERE
It was awful. Immediately upon opening the door to the room there was just an awful old smell reeking from the room so we opened the windows and blasted the AC to get the smell out. The beds are super old and uncomfortable. The couch is clearly old and smelled awful. The prices are way too high for that kind of quality. Stop putting millions into a parking garage and work on the hotel!!! Also there’s no breakfast! Look somewhere else before staying here.

The hotel added a resort fee when I checked in even though it was late October, many resort type amenities were closed mid-week, and there was massive construction going on.

We paid $33 for early check- in, which we were told would make our room available between 1-3. We arrived at 2:15 and were told our room was not ready. When we asked about our early check in the person responded that the early check in meant they had until 3:00 to have it ready - which makes ZERO sense. Very unhelpful and unwilling to try and help. We should get our $33 back -

Check in was very chaotic as there was a wedding and another large group. We were charged a $20.00 resort amenities fee, which we knew about. To access the amenities we should have received a fob of some sort. We never received the fob because we said we were going to the wedding and leaving early morning. We are being charged $50.00 for not returning a fob that we never received. I spoke with a front desk attendant and a manager and requested they screen security footage for proof that we never received the fob. They were not at all helpful.
