Despite the new coat of paint on the outside of the building, this is a very old property that obviously hasn't had a renovation in decades. Most parts of the hotel scream 1980s, but then I discovered the harvest gold tile shower stall. That was long out of style by the 1980s, so this facility is older than that. Old red carpet in the room left the bottoms of my feet brown after just one hour. My room had two beds, and one of them had brown hair, yellow stains, and particles of filth on the sheets from the previous guest. Washing the sheets between guests is about all I really expect from housekeeping, and they clearly failed to even do that. Good thing I wasn't traveling with my wife, as her cleanliness standards are higher than mine.

I took some photos of the lack of cleanliness and general decor and uploaded them here with my review. The stock photos the hotel has posted on Google look 30 years newer than the room I stayed in. Look at my photos and see if you notice a discrepancy.

The night I stayed, there was a loud party going on outdoors with at least 20 people setting up chairs on the grass outside and yelling into the night. Management quieted the party, but it still speaks to the clientele at this hotel - large groups like ball teams looking for lots of rooms on the cheap. Other parts of the stay were okay, but this hotel is very much below average, yet they charge average prices. No free breakfast either, which most hotels include at this price point. I did not visit the water park, and will not return to do so.
