8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)
Overall nice but extremely small countertops - made the kitchen very hard to use. The kitchen implements were missing and not thought out well.
Room was very quiet which was a positive. Room was well furnished besides kitchen. Staff didn’t seem on the same page with room service. Poor communication.

8/10 Very Good! (354 reviews)
Nice place. Kids had a good time. Not encouraged to go there if you are a minority. You wont feel welcomed. The staff is great, but the type of people that go there arent really folks that likely share the same interests as you do. There are Confederate flags all over; etc. Hotel rooms are no bueno, old. IF you want something nice, you need to spend the money glamping or have your own trailer.
