Only had one person working front desk during our whole stay. I had already paid for the room but they took over an hour to check everyone in for to computer being down. Since only one person working, she couldn't look to see which rooms had 2 beds vs 1. No map? Also had to wait 45 min for front desk person to hand us tp, shampoo, bc only 1 person working. Both times were 7 pm, not overnight. Dog hair, smelly in halls & room. Will not be staying here again.

The pool was out of service with no warning prior to booking nor a discount. Breakfast hours were from 630-930 arrived by 8 and hash browns and breakfast burritos were gone and never refilled. Very busy place with no clean tables to sit at. Definitely short on help or on accountability. Pet friendly hotel! Rooms very average nothing over the top. Beds were very firm.

Old of been better.
We had booked on line the room was not available when we arrived and no one had the authority to up grade the room. Finally we were told there was a king room but it was clean so the one gentleman informed us he wasn’t a maid but he would go clean it. He did a pretty good job. We slept pretty good after an hour of waiting.

The website said that they had a pool. Took a kids group to there specifically to swim the day before and after an amusement park. This was these kids ONLY vacation and no swimming! The night attendant was hanging out in the lobby with her biker boyfriend. Eating dinner and watching movies. Making it very uncomfortable for our group to utilize the lobby No soap in rooms had to beg for slivers

This is a very nice, clean hotel. Hotel is only about 5 years old, so it's clean, nice and is located across the street from the horse track and Adventure Land. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby, also movie theater is a couple blocks away. I would stay here again. Staff are very friendly.

As a travel agent I would say that the property has tried their best to take care of the property. The rooms are nice and clean and free of debris all over. The fact that the pool is closed and that was not listed anywhere is not okay. It should be something on all booking sites that gives people a heads up. It is very misleading. Mandy was great upon check in and nothing listed is her fault. The overall property is actually cleaner than a lot of 4 and 5 stars. Trust me. I didn't get a chance to try the breakfast but I plan to book people for this location. Please keep it up and your rating will change.

A couple nights with the horses
Check in was a little slow given we'd already booked through Hotels.com. Additionally, there were a couple of cars parked under the portico who where picking up the hotel staff as they got off work. One was playing music pretty loudly and it detracted from from the experience with friends and family
