Please make a rule of no running and jumping in the pool or no kids in pool past 9PM. On Saturday night, I was trying to enjoy the pool and was bombarded with constant splashes from 6 rowdy unproperly parented kids multiple at a time running and jumping in the pool over and over and over and multiple at a time. I asked them to keep their splashes to one side, but they were absolutely inconsiderate and their parents did not do a single thing to control their kids. I am quite childlike and silly myself, but they were reckless, unsafe (running and jumping), unruly, and inconsiderate and the parents didn't care one bit for any other patrons and let them run wild. After nearly an hour of putting up with it trying to stay away as far as possible in the pool but still getting constantly splashed over and over, I told a staff member and they said they couldn't do anything about it at all. I was absolutely disappointed and felt extremely frustrated as a result. So I will likely considering other hotels next time and telling others since clearly there is no proper safety regulations in the pool and they are clearly not enforced because nobody cares enough to.

For 270$ a night, there's a few things why it's not really worth it to me. For one the hot tub jets weren't working. I understand that can happen and maybe waiting for parts. But One of the reasons I booked it was for the hottub. Still was nice for the heat. The hotel wasn't really quiet either, like I could hear the next door suite guy snoring. Most hotels you can hear hallway noise which is fine. But I shouldn't be able to hear the suite next to me. One of the nights the power went out. Super surprised they don't have a back up diesel generator. Or even solar/battery backup. Even though it went out at night time around 11pm, and out of their control..but paying 270$ a night. You should have power backups for a facility that large and that busy. As well the stay came with continental breakfast, In this day and age some of us are allergic to gluten..well they didnt even have a gluten free option for celiacs. Not ideal, especially when I requested that before hand in the notes section while booking the hotel. So I wouldn't really recommend this place for the price. If they at least gave everyone a discount for the power outage situation for that night. Would have gotten a little better rating. But definitely wasn't worth the price per night. Maybe it was just my stay and chance. Probably have to try it again some other time and see if they make any appropriate changes. Staff was pretty awesome though I have to admit that. Pretty good team. No changes needed there.
