Ie. one double and one twin bed for your family of 4! Seriously!QUOTE]
I read your thread and you have a very valid point. Glad you persisted with the hotel and got a refund. Too bad you couldn't have traded rooms with the ladies in line who had the bunk beds. These rooms have a set of bunks and a small single bed in a kid area, so your young kids wouldn't have to sleep on the top. There is also a Double or Queen in the room. We had this type of room when our family of 5 stayed a few years ago. The room was pretty tight, so we won't be going this route again. I agree with others who have stated that the hotel is worn and a little old, but clean and accommodating. We were right outside the pool, which was great except for the noise at night.
I would suggest anyone thinking of staying here contact the hotel to ask how booked they are during your staff and if it is during Grad Night celebrations. If you book direct ask for the travelzoo discount and the cancellation policy. If it starts to get too crowded, change your reservation to another hotel. I'd rather spend a little more and have a great time, than let a great deal ruin our trip. This might help improve your odds with this gamble!
Sorry everybody. I was going to go for a quick weekend. Thanks for sharing.
It was really bad and I am a reformed smoker! Because it was so late and we just waited in line 45 minutes to check-in (a bus load of people were checking in ahead of us at midnight!) I sprayed room freshner I alway pack from Yankee Candle and passed out from exhaustion. The room was a little worn but clean. The continental breakfast was adequate. For one night before or after a vacation, the value can't be beat. However, I would not choose to stay there for my whole vacation.
of staying there with all the negative reviews but I have to say we had a pleasant stay. Our room was not ready when we got there but when we returned later and checked in I was pleasantly surprised at how nice our room was despite all the horrible reviews. Maybe because the other posters are used to higher end hotels (the Poly and SSR) they had higher expectations. The rooms were very nice and clean, it was just my sister and I but we had 2 double beds. And when I booked through the SW Airlines website I did not request the room with a fridge and microwave for the higher price but we received them both anyway. Also, I would not blame the hotel for screaming teenagers running around, that's not the hotels fault, where are the parents or the chaperones? That being said, I do have 2 minor negatives. The drainage in our bathtub was very slow and we mentioned it to the front desk but nothing was ever done, I don't know if it was just our room or if the whole hotel is like that. The other was the free continental breakfast, it was so very crowded that to me it was a waste of time, we could have grabbed something from McDonald's faster (we only ate there once). Also as one reviwer said, the water left much to be desired and we are not bottled water people. My sister hated the coffee but when I purchased a bottle of water from the soda machine ($1.00) she said it was much better. Overall, I would recommend this hotel and would stay again in a heartbeat. It was clean and the staff was very friendly.
