The staff was friendly and the service was good. We checked in for a night and to spend the day at the pool. The pool was very dirty. Maybe the filter wasn't working? Garbage, bugs, leaves, hair floating in the pool. Kids floating eating ice cream.

Holly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I liked the view and how clean it was. Despite this, the room had a wet dog smell. The A/C was on 68, but it felt muggy in the room. There weren’t many channel options on the TV. It seemed like an old TV, based on the fact that the screen randomly froze and there were images superimposed over other images, at times. Part of the “resort fees” was access to the saltwater pool “24/7”, but it was closed when we went to swim. Overall, I spent a lot for what was ultimately a disappointing experience. My stays at Hilton properties half the price have been more enjoyable.
Amenities of the property stated saltwater pool was open, but it was not
No shower liner, so water was on the bathroom floor when I finished my shower
Soaking up water because no shower curtain liner was present
Sheets were clean

This isn't my first time staying here. I’ve visited before with my family because I love the lake and have good memories. This time, I made a last-minute reservation to spend some quiet time alone after going through a difficult experience. The hotel seems to be in a similar condition as before, but I was disappointed to find that the walking paths for solo strolls weren’t properly maintained. Most of all, I was frustrated by a billing error in which I was charged twice for an unexpected fee, and even after calling, the issue wasn’t properly resolved.
