"Place is awesome ! They play music at the pool it’s close to everything food and highways . Tue rooms were big and spacious . My son and I loved it . Except , I extended my trip another night at tue hotel . Went the next morning and paid before checkout . Hour later some dude called and was blowing me left messages and voicemails asking for me to make a Payment . I told him dude I already paid this morning before checkout . He was a prick at first asking why i didn’t pay yet . Then i went to front desk to get another key I had misplaced . Then he says I didn’t pay my 60 deposits told him I been paid that !
