wonderful large (cold) indoor pool and hot tub - that was the draw (10/23/24) i'm adding the date because it took 5 phone calls

was pleasantly surprised by the continental breakfast they had and didn’t see it advertised on the booking site

fresh doughnuts for breakfast !

breakfast

breakfast included hot eggs, potatoes cooked differently each day

breakfast was good, coffee is good

virus of course stopped the usual breakfast fare, but the staff went well above and provided us with a decent enough breakfast

our loft-style room was super cozy and loved that it came with a full kitchen

thanks for the complimentary breakfast and free wifi

as for the amenities, i could tell all the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool

pet fee seemed high.

room shared wall with gym and looked out over enclosed pool. not very private and very loud.

had a rather noisy hvac unit, and i thought we must be near the laundry as we could hear what sounded like a washing machine agitating at various times

had a room right next to the pool

pool room very nice cleaned and very quite

wifi went out and we were given no discount

but there s free wifi

very comfortable room & price was great - wifi authentication was slow but speed was good- bed was comfortable

the wifi for my ps5 didnt work. smelled like weed. the beds weren't soft they were very firm.

anyway, they do exist, so of indoor pool and fitness center are important to you, this could be a good choice for you

the kids had a ball playing in the pool & on the pirate ships

the hotel itself is older and could use some updating but the water park was great for the kids and worth the stay if you have

those with small children, the water park is great

breakfast was sufficient

pool water was way too cold but the kids didn't mind

servicing the breakfast area was inattentive

pool size is small but… this is not everyone’s priority when staying

pool was overly chlorinated to the point your eyes start to water and you have trouble breathing

parking was difficult, pretty pricey, no breakfast unless you paid $14 per person.

the buffet breakfast for the price was a little high for the scope of items, but the breakfast at the republic

the republic opened a little earlier on weekends for breakfast as a second breakfast option

no decent breakfast option. should offer breakfast buffet at least on weekends.

felt a bit nicked and dimed by extra charges for a mediocre breakfast and parking.
