This hotel is awful, do not book this hotel, especially for families. We booked this hotel for 4 nights for a baseball tournament. We decided last minute to leave a night early, so I booked an extra night on a separate reservation. We pulled in at 1:30 in the morning, the security guard on an ATV had all entrances blocked and wouldn't let us pull in until we explained that we were checking in for the first time. I went into lobby, and no one was to be found. I waited over 30 mins for the front desk employee to come back. In those 30 mins, I witnessed 3 other guests roaming the property for no apparent reason. One woman came down half-dressed to dig through the ashtrays on the garbage can and smoke the cigarettes left behind. When the employee came back, he reeked of *********. We finally got to our room about 2:15AM and tried to fall asleep. Unfortunately, the person above us paced from about 2:45-7:00AM and we could hear the sliding door to the balcony open and shut every 10 mins. The next morning, we left rather early to run some errands, but when we came back to the hotel around 3:00pm and parked on the side of the hotel where our room was, we noticed a man passed out on one of the balconies. These are not normal balconies; they are Juliet Balconies...so no physical room to sit. This man had wedged himself between the door and the railing and was not moving. We also noticed other random rooms that had house plants on the balconies. We decided to take the kids to the pool, upon walking the halls, we noticed strange men walking through the property and meeting in the corners of the halls. After about 15 mins in the pool, we noticed a woman in a room on the bottom floor next to the pool gate, walk out, escort a man back to her room, escort him out about 30 mins later and then bring back a second man for 30 mins, and then escort him out. It was very clear that she was a **********. We started to get more and more uneasy. It became evident that many of the people at the pool lived at the hotel full time. We then watched what looked like homeless men circle the pool and look in the windows of the hotel rooms. We decided to get out and go report our concerns to the lobby. There was not a manager working at the time, so we asked the front desk to call the manager. They refused but sent an email detailing our concerns. We asked for a refund of the 4-might reservation because we wanted to leave. Our kids did not feel comfortable and were scared and quite frankly, the illegal activities taking place at this hotel made my husband and I uncomfortable. They refused to refund and refused to let us speak to a manager. Still to this day, I have received no phone call and it has been two weeks. Davis the sales manager was completely rude, condescending, called us liars and was very patronizing. This place is the absolute worst. When we moved hotels, the front desk of our new hotel confirmed that the Vanllee receives governmen
