Room key didn't work 3x. Lost a family member to cancer at Mayo so we arrived around 1:30am. One younger kid working, no one else to help. Room dirty but we were exhausted. This room was double the cost of so many others so we expect more. Sink plugged, no water pressure in shower and tub not cleaned. Carpet sticky. Told by front desk in morning the mgr would call. Nothing yet. Told by kid that evening they would talk to us that morning, nope - not available. No comps, no help, just dumbfounded look after our horrible situation we had just encountered after not sleeping for 3 days. We stayed prior at Spark and it was WONDERFUL. Go to Spark people! This place, you can't call me back and make it right, don't care...you are in an area where people need accommodations due to difficult situations (Mayo) BE BETTER. You didn't care at all.

Front desk staff is attentive and kind. Always dynamic to engage with. Room is good and amenities are good. Never issues in the dozens of times I have stayed here. They frequently trouble shoot things and help often.

The kids loved the pool and waterslide. It's not a waterpark, but the waterslide does set it apart from your standard hotel pool. Basketball hoop was broken in the pool. Everything was clean and overall I'd definitely recommend this hotel. There were a few things that I think could be improved, but they are all pretty minor. First, the workout room was super hot. The thermostat said it was 80F in there, so hot before I even started working out. Also the poolside rooms I would say are not worth the extra money over a regular room. I was thinking it'd be more like a sliding glass door where the kids walk out and go. But really it's still a hallway then through the gate. Our room was a poolside suite and the room was very big and spacious. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was OK but most things were a bit cold. Overall a positive experience and I'd recommend staying at this hotel if you're in the area and want the kids to have a little extra fun in the pool area.
