Sad
Please listen to the reviews and do not stay here. It’s disturbingly disgusting and ran down. I stayed here so many times throughout my childhood so I really didn’t listen to the reviews but I was completely shocked at the appearance of the hotel and was so ready to check out and get back home where I felt safe and clean again.

Maybe try elsewhere
The staff was very nice and helped me with any questions I had. They gave my family rooms right next to eachother like I requested. The rooms were worn down and very outdated there was on table and one nightstand but nowhere else to set anything other than on the mini fridge. The flooring was coming up, the windows were gross, and the beds were extremely uncomfortable.

The hot tub was cold and they let lots of kids and people all at once splash around and horse play so nobody could enjoy and relax. The rooms was super dirty and not picked up. Some pools was closed. On the wing we booked our room, the pool was closed.

We went there with friends so the kids could swim and play, way too many bday parties, water was cold, and only one pool open! They should only allow one bday party at a time, hire workers, and figure out a better way to make customers happy! 20% isn’t much!!

Lobby area was updated & clean. Carpet in hallway of rooms was very stained. I knew ahead of time, from reviews, that sounds from pool area & hallways were loud & could be heard in the room, so I can’t complain since I knew ahead if time.

This is a motel. There are over 100 people that work for Adventureland living in this hotel. They have made sure the place is as dirty as a hoarders kitchen, after dark when they get off work they throw parties in the parking lot creating a super unsafe feeling. We left and came back to find a zip tie on our patio door. The said residents hang their laundry to dry on banisters of the suites and then go to work at the front desk. I was actually terrified for my life staying here alone with three young girls. My daughter (15) was sexually harassed by workers in uniform drinking and playing music on a speaker near the pool that was in a different language.
I could go on for hours about our terrible experience but please if you are a family DO NOT STAY HERE. It isn’t your average fear, even the security patrolling is scared of these individuals living here and refused to engage.
