We booked this stay in advance, planning to use the waterpark at the hotel/resort. We found out one day prior to our trip that the water park was down aka not functioning, and we live about 2 hours from the area, with two small children. We had not heard a word from the hotel about this inconvenience, just so happened my mom called to ask about an early check in & she was informed of the waterpark issue. We were told we could NOT cancel or reschedule our stay and would NOT be provided any sort of refund for this inconvenience & misguided advertising of amenities. Very disappointing & we did NOT attend the stay & we were still charged by the hotel.
Could use an upgrade of the hallways and lighting. Waterpark is awesome but not included in stay most of the time. Waterpark temp could be warmer but food was great and having it right poolside was so convenient. There is a pool that’s included with your stay if you don’t want to go to the waterpark. Couldn’t get breakfast as it wasn’t open until late morning.
The room was very clean upon arrival. We only stayed one night, so I can’t attest for much, but it was always very quiet inside, the staff that helped us was very friendly, and the building itself was very nice.
This place was probably once an amazing hotel. Now it’s just run down and gross/ sad. Beds are rock hard, tvs are so outdated, carpets have stains, walls are patched all over very sloppy. Place is a $100 a night hotel at best not a $220.
This property needs to be updated. It is dark in the hallways and very ran down. Room temperature was way to warm and there was no way to adjust the room temperature, heating unit in the room was decades old. TV remote had buttons missing on it.
Nice place to stay but couldn’t check in until 4:00 unless we paid an early check in fee of $25. Evidently there were rooms ready since we could get a room right away with paying this fee. Probably won’t stay there again as 4:00 is a late check in time.
Great location and beautiful grounds! The rooms are a bit dated and need a facelift. My closet door was broken, the bathroom soap was deteriorating, there was someone’s leftover food in my refrigerator, and the coffee selection in the room was subpar.
Nice location, lots of amenities. Room was outdated decor and no thermostat. We could not get the air conditioning to adjust to heat and were freezing. We all slept with our clothes on since the bedding was so thin, even with the extra blanket provided. Room was were incredibly thin. We had a toddler in the room next to use who was crying all night and morning and it sounded like it was in our room. Also hallway conversation was so loud we could hear everything. Brunch at onsite restaurant was limited in choices and some options were cold. Staff was very friendly in the restaurant.

Indoor property conditions are pretty poor. It smells musky and is very poorly lite. Everything in the room was really outdated down to the comforter. This would be a wonderful place to spend time with family if they put the time and effort inside the building as they did to the outside amenities.

The property was outdated. The AC was broken in our room. Half the outlets didn’t work, blow dryer didn’t work, and the outlet that did work in the bathroom, sparked my husband. Don’t recommend staying here.

When we arrived we had hoped for an early check in, unfortunately our room wasn’t ready. We asked if they could hold our bags and they said no. We hauled our bags to the car and went shopping. Once we got to our room we noticed it had a bad farm odor. We decided not to complain and deal with it.
The resort provided a free bus to the grape stomp which was convenient.
We stayed two nights and our room was never cleaned. We requested clean towels but were told that they didn’t have staff to bring them to us. Our room was about as far as possible from the front desk. This resort was once beautiful but it’s aged and in need of major updates. There’s not a USB port to be found. We’ve avoided staying here in the past 10 years due to the need for repairs- we hoped for some updates but that hasn’t happened. We will be looking elsewhere in the future for our girls weekends.
