Disliked: Amenities
The property was nice. I would rate higher if the pool and hot tub were not OVERRUN WITH KIDS. I intentionally booked this hotel because we had a very long drive. When we arrived the pool area was overrun and frankly DIRTY because of the people in there. They were eating pizza and had drinks all over the place. Kind of gross.

Best hotel experience ever!

We stayed there with our 10U baseball team for State and it could not have been more perfect. They got to swim, fish, walk to Bass Pro, hang out, and enjoy their down time all at one place! I enjoyed the work out room, the mall, and close restaurants! We will definitely be staying here again!!!
