Enjoyed the stay, lobby and room was cleaned. Staff were very helpful. Loved the environment. Will be coming back to visit.

Rented a one bedroom
room it smelled very musky, we had to call and ask for a different room which they gave the option of having maintenance come spray the room with deodorizer or downgrade to studio room with no price adjustment for downgrade. Restaurants were very slow service, over a 2 hour wait at 3pm. Overall not worth the price, much better options available for the money.

It was very nice to receive an instant upgrade from a pool view to a lake view room, this rather spacious room also had a jacuzzi in it with a small kitchen( villa) love how quite this area was and it was a beautiful experience!

As soon as we walked into the building with our room, the overwhelming scent of body odor hit us. Then as we got off the elevator on the 5th floor, the only thing you could smell was marijuana. At first we thought it might just be someone passing by, but the smell was still there hours later. The toilet seat had what I can only assume was pubic hair on the seat, and the dishes in the room were barely clean. What was suppose to feel like a nice resort felt more like a motel 6. We decided to check out the same night and explained to the lady at the front desk what the issues were, to which she brushed it off without a care making it seem like it is common for people to have complaints on this level. I would not now or ever recommend staying at this “resort” especially with how much it cost per night.

Check in was long but it was a veteran's weekend. Rooms need to be upgrade but it was clean. Arcade, restaurant, store, bowling and mini golf was a plus.

1.5 / 5.0
The bed was very comfortable but the room itself was very dated and run down. Light switches were filthy (see picture), screen on the balcony was dry rotted.
It was hard to sleep with the pool lights shining in through the Venetian blinds and kids screaming around the pool until late at night.
The Drafts sports bar was great!

I was not impressed with the Kitchen cookware.
No Blender, No Cookie Sheet, no Large pot to cook anything, the chief knife was so Dull it couldn't cut Lemon.
Missing tongs, Wine opener. NO condiments like salt or pepper. I guess I am just spoiled with Wyndham Timeshares.

I had stayed here before a couple of years ago and loved it, but did not have a good experience this time around.The bathtub was dirty and there was hair all over the place. It did not appear rugs had been vacuumed either. The staff mainly in waterpark area by the pools were very rude to guests.
