We booked for a Saturday stay. The water was freezing, fuzz and hair were floating in the hot tub. They double booked our room so we had to wait for another one. The heater in our room didn’t work right and when I went to take a shower there was hair on the wall in the shower. Needles to say we won’t be back

The hot tub was not working, again, upon our 2nd family trip/stay. We had no in-hotel access to ice or amenities, without going outdoors, and entering back into the main portion of the hotel. And there was no in-room telephone, with which to contact the main desk, or anyone at all.

Price was reasonable however the property is in poor condition. They are under a remodel however it appears that has been going on for a long time with little progress. The continental breakfast food is a bar, with everything else to purchase only. At one time this place had to be awesome, just not kept up as quickly as it went downhill. Also very limited staff so if you need anything plan on just going to the front desk.

Will never stay at this property again.

The water park was wonderful however the condition of the hotel was horrendous. Trash everywhere, mattresses in the hallway, dead flies on the window sill, door key pad to building was not working so it was not secure. I understand covid changed type of breakfast served however there was no cream for coffee. For the conditions, $160 was way overpriced, more like a $29 property.

kinda dissapointed

Actual Room was clean and decent. Free breakfast was a few choices of granola bars/packaged pastries/yogurt supposed to be in fridge, but out all three days/ fruit cups, but no spoons, no napkins (even when asked) Lobby restrooms were obviously not cleaned the three days we were there. Not sure how long they have been under the new management, but I was hoping things would have improved as we go the colonies every year at this time. They seemed to be short staffed.

Not for 150.00

There is no elevator and majority of the building looks in poor repair, I'm not sure if this was in the middle of a remodel? Half of the outlets in the room didn't work but apparently they are run by a light switch which would've been more helpful at check-in rather than check-out. The "waterpark" was about half the size pictured and the 2 waterslides weren't monitored by lifeguards, just a TV. Hot tub was nice but overall we've stayed in significantly nicer for less/same cost. Stayed for a girls night out but I wouldn't come back with my kids.

Sorry, asked for a fan, was told sorry there aren't any...was outside to cool off at 3am..my children and I went for a relaxing getaway and couldn't sleep from the room being so hot!

I booked this as a family trip for my little kids because of the water park. Checked in right at 3:00 p.m. only to find out the water park closed 30 minutes before that and was going to be down for days. The hotel was not worth the money as the rooms were dingy and the beds were uncomfortable.

I was extremely excited to return to this property as I have been coming here since I was a child. The last time I stayed, prior to this trip, was 2015. I could not be more shocked by what I found. To begin with, there is no on site restaurant as stated on the website. There used to be a fantastic restaurant serving all three meals. Now there is a bar, gambling machines, and a pool table. When I asked the bar tender (the most helpful and kind staff member we encountered by FAR during our stay) she shared with us the restaurant was closed. The website only mentions "there will be a limited number of first floor rooms available to reserve due to property renovations". Next, I attempted numerous times to connect to the WiFi. The front desk attendant working at the time, approximately 3:00-4:00 on Wednesday,7/7/2021, could not have been less helpful. I was told that the general manager, Stephanie Stevenson, was in a corporate meeting and "under no circumstances could she be disturbed per Ramada Corporate policy". When I emailed Ms. Stevenson, she replied promptly, however she stated that "I know sometimes different devices will not connect to it (i.e. WiFi). We have no idea why this is but we have been working hard to find out. However we do offer a computer up front". Finally, guests were being allowed to have children swimming in the pool in their underwear until I brought it to the lifeguards attention. These were incredibly disappointing accommodations to say the least.

Just okay

I realize renovations are being done, but I think that the room prices should god down until they are completed. I feel like my room I stayed in was one of the renovated ones, but feel like it wasn’t done well. A liner on the tub was placed over the old one. While in the shower it felt and sounded like I was on a waterbed. No fan in the bathroom. A new fridge is needed. The potential is there with this resort, but not in its current state.
