Terrible!
Terrible hotel, Boss’ Pizza (attached to the hotel) took over 2 hours before the manager came an asked if we received our food yet, which we had not. Manager argued with me about my order. I order Alfredo with broccoli & Alfredo pizza. He said I ordered mini corn dogs and kids Mac & Cheese. Manager made his own employees cry in front of guests, argued with employee’s in front of guests. Unprofessional, worst restaurant experience ever. Hotel left pool music on all night, which was so loud it work me up. Cops were called for some unknown reason.

Disappointing
This place has gone down hill over the years. Took my girls during the week and only on one pool was open which was disappointing. There is a free breakfast which was granola bars and danishes from Walmart. It use to be a warm breakfast. It’s probably better on the weekends.
