Worst hotel ever

This hotel is garbage. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Dirty, unkempt, and the owners obviously don’t care because there are the same reviews from 2 years ago and nothing has changed. Do NOT stay here.

We really enjoyed the waterpark but if it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t have been satisfied at all. Our room floor was very dirty and the beds were not comfortable .

A few issues

Lodge rooms need renovation. Bathroom smell of mildew/mold. The beds cratered &need replaced, but neither of us found them so poor we could not sleep. The room was large and clean, but overall a bit lacking. We enjoyed the location and the lodge feel.

While I liked being on the ground floor and that each of our rooms had its own front porch, the rooms themselves could use updating. The few outlets there were couldn’t hold a plug. The bathroom needs hooks for towels, wet swimsuits, etc, and a microwave would be useful. We were excited about the indoor pool and water park, however, the water looked green and cloudy, and my grandchildren kept finding hair, and bugs in the water.

The staff is always accommodating and allows us to check in early year after year. The rooms are in excellent quality. They are very informative at the front desk about events, tours, shuttles, ferries. Always a pleasure to stay there.
