There was a large group of people in the hotel and the children were noisy all night long. In turn, this woke me up on multiple occasions, until I decided to get up at 3:30 AM. I was taking an overnight test for the Mayo Clinic and the noise level disrupted the success of this test. When I asked the front desk why they didn't get it under control; she claimed they were giving her prank calls at the front desk. Literal translation, I couldn't get upstairs, walk the floors and admonish those who were unruly and loud. As a result, I asked to be refunded for the last couple of nights and moved to a different hotel. There were also bugs in the room, no room service. It was an awful experience.

Zero lifeguard
Hotel room was great and exactly as pictured. The pool area was in great condition, however there was zero supervision or lifeguard. The pool & hot tub were packed, likely above capacity. Kids were going down the water slide 5-6 at a time making it very difficult for my children to safely go down.

Excited to stay but when wanting to enjoy the pool area as well as spa it was caution taped off and area was trashed. When asking the front desk about this he acted as if unaware then stated oh well let me check with maintenance to see if it was cleaned. Stated there was an unattended youth had an accident there. The air conditioner was blowing and it was filled with clothes and garbage.

Upon checking in, i paid to upgrade our room. Later on in the evening, as our children were sleeping, our toilet began to flood for no apparent reason. We had to wait until the next morning for maintenance to snake the pipe. Didnt make a big deal about it. Proceeded to try to just go to bed, to realize that our bed was either just completely worn out or broken. With our children sleeping already, we tried to get some sleep. There were notes taken on our room both the night before and the following morning for management. After only getting 3 hrs of sleep because the weight of my wife, who is half my size (125 lbs), was causing the mattress to sink so much that it was actually pulling me towards her. We did try to switch sides but that side of the bed provided absolutely no support to my body. I requested a refund the morning after at which time i was told i needed to contact expedia. I contacted expedia just for expedia to tell me that the hotel needed to confirm everything. Management then tried to say that the bed wasnt like that before we stayed there. Which couldnt have been further from the truth. Im not sure if they truly believed that i would be somebody to just accept that crap based off appearance or if they truly think that they're smarter than me as they attempted to spin accountability around. I hold a near doctorate in business, run the analytics department for my company, and have 20 years of business experience. This was poor business. Simply put.

We booked this while traveling with our kids to attend a funeral. The pool would have been great, but there was a birthday party and a softball team/teams. So the pool was not really safe for the our smaller children as those folks were un there living it up. Also the poolside rooms felt really damp inside, so be prepared for that if you request a poolside room, i doubt there is much a hotel could do about that.
