I purchased through Expedia, didn't bother to update how many guests because I was paying for 2 queen beds and have literally never been questioned. So at checkin the lady wasn't happy we had 2 adults and 3 children, 1 of which is 4 and sleeps with us every time we sleep in a hotel. The lady was professional but still snippy telling me she'd be charging another $20/night for the extra person since the room is for 4 people. She did move us to a room with a king, queen, and recliner.The tub was clogged, shower curtain blew around and let water all over the floor, not enough hot water for 4 showers back to back. No ventilation and a swag lamp for bathroom lighting.Room was clean enough aside from the fingernail clipping in the bed and soda bottle under one bed. Per the lady's request, we kept our muddy boots outside since the carpet is newer? I stubbed my toe on the 2x10s holding the king frame up. Old spring mattresses. The mini fridge, tv, wifi, coffee maker, and a/c worked fine. Didn't use the microwave.The water park was advertised and why I chose this hotel. Pool water was warm and not over-chlorinated. The stairs and framing holding the slides were badly rusted, one handrail was very loose with insufficient spindles, and my 4 year old busted her leg open going up which is concerning with the rust and peeling paint. Some bracing wasn't connected to anything. But watching people go down the slides, I didn't see them move at all.There's a swing and teeter totter outside, sufficient for what it is. 2 grills that can be used with charcoal. Little ride-on toys, some work some don't.Like everything else in town, very close to the mine.With the extra $40 I paid for 2 nights it wasn't as much of a good deal and although I wouldn't refuse to stay there, I would not make it my 1st choice. The entire town is made up of hotels and restaurants, and the people all seem appreciative of the business because we had good customer service experiences wherever we went.

The rooms are nice and quite. Downside a little high price especially since their web site says free breakfast and they didn't have any. The lady at the desk was nice and said it wasn't suppose to be on the web site.

If I could give this place ZERO STARS I would. The old lady at the front desk is a B I T C H. Just avoid staying here at all costs because she will get an attitude for no reason and start yelling then call the cops and act all innocent.

My misses and I pulled into town about 4am and after nobody answering the night buzzer at the first place we stopped here. Great service, fair pricing, and very close to the diamond mine if that's your thing. I will stay there again when I'm back in

Rooms were large but not in the best shape, even for the low price. Waterpark is only open if you have more than 12 children under 9 years old, so parties only pretty much. Close to the Crater of Diamonds but there are better places that are cheaper and closer.Nearby activities: Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond mine in the US and you keep what you find.

Don’t EVEN BOTHER STOPPING INTO THIS HE!!HOLE! The woman at the front desk is simply the most Rude & Hateful personI have ever encountered in my 55 years in the business world ?! She barked answers at me when I asked her a simple question & she was just horrible to try to talk to. Still so, I had alright given her the money & Did not Know That I could REQUEST MY MONEY BACK OR I WOULD HAVE but from reading her reviews I wouldn’t have gotten it back anyway. This motel has the creepiest, nastiest rooms I’ve never been in prior! My husband is a 50 year plus master electrician & I sent him pictures of the room where the pitiful washer/dryer was set up to ask him if this was even safe. He had a fit. He said that is not EVEN UP TO CODE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! The hot water heater has to be a certain length from the electrical panels & away from water for obvious reasons. I’mNot sure how any of this has ever passed electrical codes albeit has to be illegal. I won’t go into that aspect. But please know this is not safe. The spiderwebs looked like they could set ablaze any second! I have pictures of the Laundry Room. As well as the room where things were all aglow with RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE!!! The TV’ has a device clearly hooked to the base with what appears to be a stalking device. It definitely has every character of stalking characteristics & is hidden behind & tapped to the bottom of the TV SET.ROACHES WERE EVERYWHERE!! Our next door occupants were of the exact same concerns. We all left about the same time. It just wasn’t worth it. There was a man there with her that didn’t speak he just looked creepy & I had a feeling he was busy in the back when she called his name & he stepped in view as to intimidate me; I will say it ran chills over me. Intimidated? Yes Bc I don’t watch horror films EXACTLY BECAUSE OF PPL LIKE THIS, these kind of people, really worry me and are the very reason I don’t watch scary films ?! And the lady who was so hateful who owns this ran down roach infested place is going to come back with soooo many excuses about why didn’t we complain to her & report it! We read the reviews too late but read how many ppl you had repeatedly complained to saying the same things back to & not ever addressing the real issue. But pictures don’t lie YALL! So here’s some dangerous pictures of wide open dangerous areas!!! Save yourself some sickness! Do not try this! It’s SHADY, PURE FILTH! Ohhh & as we were leaving I went to the SUV to load back up as the “cleaning lady entered”. She was gone when I returned to get the other bag - Yes!! She had already cleaned or so she called it cleaned our room! Did not even strip the bed sheets! I ran to catch her & she had already cleaned like 4 rooms plus mine on ONR TRIP TO MY SUV THAT SAT RIGHT INFRONT OF THE ROOM!! What? Need I SAY MORE!? No!Rooms: We’re filthy. Roaches everywhere! Most disturbing unclean beds & entire place was just horrible! Something white I’m color encrusted in the bedspread! ?Safety: The electric panels are too close to water heaters & filth of panels & a real burning ? issue with all electrical systems according to my husband, a life long master electrician.Noteworthy details: Unbelievable horrible treatment by the owners. Wait she will comeback with mind games & she’ll be swinging from one bipolar episode to the next consistently with something smart to say about any negative posts. But for the Gods honest truth of the matter don’t even stop! Just save yourself a night mare. ?

Would not recommend or stay here again. Room was dirty, needs a lot of work. Carpet was dirty, stained and batched together. I wouldn’t walk on the floor without my sandals. There was no deadbolt or chain lock on the door which was a little creepy. We found a couple of dead crickets in our room about the size of a mouse. Very dirty. Rooms need some deep cleaning or some cleaning. You have to cancel 48 hours ahead for a refund so once you make your reservation they have you. If we could we would have canceled the minute we saw the room. Much nicer motels in town.

Disappointment for the price we paid. Especially the 'water park'. Rusty shards? No thanks.....Could do a little better housekeeping in the bathroom. Toothpaste glob on cabinet and the mirror wasn't cleaned. One Bed corner leg was missing and it was being held up by a couple logs. Kinda strange but....beds were comfortable, sheets were clean, fridge was nice. Won't stay again or recommend.

Great location! Very nice, quaint, laid back, country atmosphere. Owners are nice & polite. Our room was upgraded & we were given an option of an upstairs or downstairs room.We had our grandkids, who loved the little rides out front and the play area out back. They loved getting cold Popsicles from a nice lady that works there. It was 108 degrees!The indoor pool was ok. Very dark, hot & humid, but again it was 108 outside. The hand rails to the water slides were loose & rusting apart. One of the smaller slides had screws backing out at the top of the slide. The swimming pool was very cold which was a surprise . We spent a good 2 hours inside. The boys loved it & no we weren't concerned about the condition of the hand rails or the screws. I did tell the lady that gave us the Popsicles.Will stay there again.Rooms: When we first walked into the room, it was cold. Not like the bigger fancier hotels that have their room warm. The beds were clean & comfortable. Loved that the sheets weren't white. The bathroom was clean, the TV was a little small due to the largeness of the room.

Stayed there a few years ago and found stagnate water in the pool, mildew and wet dog smell in the room, clogged sink and shower, unknown strange beetle like insects near the walls, no hot water 5 minutes after turning it on, and other issues. Reported them to the front desk. They gave us another room and it was just as bad. If I could hive them zero or negative stars I would. The *only* good thing is the location.

Got in late, and the staff was friendly and got us checked in fast. Rooms are definitely dated. But they were clean and quiet. The pool was open but wasn't as clear as I would have hoped for, and they don't open the water park area on the weekdays.
