The hotel needs some TLC
Overall a little disappointed with our stay. I like the "vibe" of the hotel but it's a bit run down. For example, the front of the hotel is not well cared for and does not show well. At a bare minimum put some plants in the flower boxes. The pool area and hot tub are really nice. The pool was warm. Our only complaint here is the small thin tools that they provided. They were horrible - get new (better) towels. The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. We went to the game room which was a fun to have but about the half of the games we tried to play were not working. Again, this is why I am saying the place needs some TLC. It has a lot of potential but it's not well cared for.

Unique retro hotel
The hotel was great. The pool and hot tub looked great although we didn't use them. The bed was comfortable. We liked the large arcade area near the bar. Coffee in the room would have been nice

6/10 Good

Do not get a mezzanine room if you want any sort of quiet. Kids will be screaming from 9am to 9pm in the pool area. There is a big gap under the door onto the deck and zero sound proofing.

2/10 Poor

The hot tub was out of order. There were no microwaves, coffee maker, ice bucket or cups provided for the room. We told the front desk clerk that when we booked , we asked if the hot tub was working and told yes. He told us there was too much chlorine and to just use the pool. It was our anniversary and it was ruined because of this below average establishment that we used to love in the past

Pricey family friendly hotel
Spacious rooms with patios overlooking the pool. Some low key live music, lots of games and a fun bar. About 10 min from downtown. Overpriced in my opinion.
