We were the last people to check in at midnight as we had been at Eric Church concert. Our air conditioner wasn't working. It was 105 heat index out that day. We called front desk. She came up to look at it. Said she would need maintenance to Look at it. At this time it’s 1am. There were no other rooms to move too. She won’t comp our room. At this point we are tired and want to sleep. At 1:30 am “they” are knocking on our door. We didn’t open it. They proceeded to call our room several times, and again we are exhausted and don’t pick up the phone. This room was $209.00…… We were thankful to have a bed and a shower…. They could have atleast comped our room or given us a free night for future stays. Nothing

Charged $500 for a room worth probably $99-120. Dirty roll of toilet paper left in room. Very small quarters, tight. Ugly decor.

Checked in late at night (around Midnight) so I understand that the staff was not over enthusiastic but didn’t really want to put their cell phone down to help us. We ran into (almost literally) the same staff member in the morning coming off the elevator with phone in hand not paying attention. The hotel could use an overall update but as long as it’s clean I don’t put too much merit in that. The cleanliness was ok but all three rooms our group had were rather musty smelling and a very humid and wet feel to them. I understand it’s sometime hard to control that but it made sleeping uncomfortable and just everything felt wet. Bathroom was clean but one of our rooms only had 1 bath towel- odd for a room with 2 beds. A suggestion would be to run breakfast a little later than 9 on a weekend. Sometimes people like to sleep a little later so we missed it. It was just an ok stay.

Ac didn’t work well. Staff was rude. Asked what the quickest route to the park was and the front last gal asked a worker and I could hear her smear “walk around to the entrance”. Ahh, thanks for the tip. I’m glad I drive 2.5 hrs to go to the entrance. When you leave the park the hotel is quick to get to if you walk or drive. If you’re walking into the park, it takes awhile. We still bought a parking pass and was thankful we did.
