• The pool/water park was perfect for my 3 and 7 year old children.
• Kids eat free is a little misleading and the choice of free meal is very limited

“Nice, clean and water park is perfect for kids under 13. Will definitely stay here again.”

• Good location for our purposes, friendly staff.
• Somewhat worn. Wallpaper starting to peel, etc.

“This hotel is located just across from west acres mall and in close proximity to Haralson baseball complex, both perfect for our purposes. Staff was friendly and efficient. The only down side was no continental breakfast with a fairly pricey restaurant as the alternative. Rooms could also use some freshening up.”

• The room was very nice, clean and huge for the price we got it for.
• Room service lady was very loud knocking on all the doors at 9 am on Sunday.

“We had a fantastic time at this hotel until Sunday Morning at 9 am when the maid persisted on waking everyone in the hotel on my floor. She was very loud and could hear here from one end of the floor to the next. She also was basically pounding down the door. I do not know what person wants to wake up that early in the morning on the weekend. I especially feel sorry for anyone who has small children and was looking forward to sleeping in on the weekend. Sleeping in on Sunday was impossible thanks to room service.”

• The motel was in a great location and had plenty of things to keep you occupied, very clean.
• It was like sleeping with a sheet for walls, every little noise you could hear in the hall way or next room.

“A great motel with to thin of walls to accommodate the noise level.”

• It was located right across the street from the mall and other shopping places and restaurants.
• It boosted about a big pool but it was mainly an oversized kiddy pool and not good for kids over 10 or young adults and definitely not a couples place.

“The hotel staff is friendly; it has a great lounge and was close to all shopping locations. I would recommend this place to families with very young children under 10 but not to anyone else. It was not meant for families with preteens or teenagers or for any couple with or without children that are not under 10. The pool only goes to 3 ft deep and it was packed with children. There was nothing for older children to do there. Parking was terrible as they have very few stalls close to your rooms if you¿re in the back. The lobby was beautiful.”

• The size of the room.
• The pool - no small table in room to play cards, etc...

“We will not stay there again. The price is extremely high for such basic hotel. The distance from room to lobby-restaurant-etc was very far. Our bathroom had plumbing issues with toilet & shower. But the worst experience was when we took our kids to the water park. It was so loud & there were allot of parents sitting around drinking & not even paying attention to their children. We did see 1 staff person but she was not really supervising anything or anyone & she had shoes on in the water area so I don¿t think she was a permanent fixture. It is a disaster waiting to happen----someone¿s child is going to drown in that pool!”

• The free use today and that was it.
• It is set up in a sprawling manner where one needs to wear track shoes to make the long trek to their room.

“It is a good hotel for business or pleasure if you do not intend to do more than spend the night and remain out most of the time.”

• It looked very nice in our room, good service.
• Walls were paper thin, could hear the family next to us. No continental breakfast.

“My husband and I stayed for one night and thought the hotel looked very nice. The only negative thing was that we could hear the family next to us, and they were up until 1:30 am, not the hotel's fault, except they should make the walls thicker!”

• Location.
• Staff was rude .

“I will not return to this hotel. When I checked in, I informed the desk staff that I had reservations for two nights. After the first night, hotel security showed up and threatened my wife and children with "eviction" without even bothering to ask if we had an additional reservation. I told the front desk about what happened, but apparently I did not shout enough to get their attention and they acted as if this was not a big deal. I have NEVER been treated as a squatter in a hotel room before and I was deeply insulted by their behavior.”

“The pool has a pirate ship--super fun for kids, super noisy for adults. I would not recommend a poolside room for the weekend! We didn't stay in a poolside room, thankfully, and the rooms are very large and clean. The staff is very friendly and attentive--when I had a headache, they brought acetaminophen to my room.”

• Has two computers with Internet access.
• No continental breakfast and the pool is made for little kids.

“I gave the overall rating of the hotel a 7. Usually you get what you pay for, but we got jimmied. Sure it has a fancy ball room conference room and other useless stuff for the everyday traveler, but I'll start with the good news: Two computers with Internet access. Thats about it. But there is no continental breakfast which was the main cause of deduction of points for the overall rating, and the pool is made for little kids; the deepest point of the pool is 4ft, and it has a pirate ship with water slides that are as long as my legs, and the hot tub was cold, and I had to walk a half mile to the computer room. Also while walking down the hallway I noticed a few trays of leftovers from dinner laying in the hallway. I didn't really interact with the staff enough to give them rating, but they looked kind of friendly so I gave them an 8. The location was good, near a lot of places to eat [olive garden], and some retail [target], a lot of it is walking distance I was customarily pleased with the location. Honestly, I don't think I'd recommend this place unless you have little kids, or are not planning on staying very long.”
