    At first glance this hotel looks nice for the price, but get inside and be prepaired to be disapointed. I asked for an early check-in (only 1 hour) and was told it was no problem. Upon arrival they didnt have room ready whitch ment hanging out in lobby. When I got to room and settled in I was tierd and decided to lay down.

I did have my do not disturb on my door, and when I was aking what they needed she responded that she needed to install lamp shades in room.

She insisted I open the door whitch I did, in my boxers I may add and she proceeded to give me the lamp shades and asked if I could install them. I took the lamp shades out of sheer shock and placed them on dresser (never installed). You could also hear everyone walk by and talking while in room. Since there was a waterpark in hotel the kids were everywhere running around. Throughout the night repeated kids would run by and knock on the door and run off. When I went to breakfest in the morning I was waiting to be seated with my guest and we were the only ones in line. repeated hotel staff walked past us and ignored us, there were tables available and staff standing around. When I asked a staff member if I could be seated he replied as he walked past that I would have to wait until they were ready, again half the tables were open.... I decided to
