Hotels with Swimming Pools in Plains Township

I was in town for a business appointment. The room was large enough to do paperwork and make phone calls without using the bed, and there was a partial separation wall between the bed and the ”work” area. The sitting area included a small frig and sink (separate from the bathroom) and a microwave. The breakfast time slot was very short, but there are a couple of nearby places to catch something to eat, (including evening pizza) but walking there required using the side of the road (no sidewalks). The also have plenty of parking spots. Overall, I would use the Microtel the next time I am in town.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days at the Woodlands Resort. Our room was located very close to the outdoor pool. Here is a list of pros and cons: Pros: - There are rooms with glass doors that open up right to the outdoor pool. - Both restaurants had a great variety of food and offered great happy hour and lunch specials. - Nice indoor and outdoor bars with great drink specials. - They have music play certain nights in the indoor and outdoor bars. - There is a night club open on the weekend if you like dancing. - The scenery is very nice and there is a nice stream located on the property. - They offer free breakfast to guests Monday through Friday. Cons: - The heater was broken for the outdoor pool and it was cold. - The indoor hot tub was also broken. - The indoor pool is located in a very dark room, but it was heated. - The hotel rooms near the outdoor pool are very small and there is barely any closet space. - The pool only had two tables with umbrellas, but there were lounge chairs all around the pool. - The pool is surrounded by trees so there is not much direct sunlight. The sun does peak through in certain places throughout the day but you have to move around the pool to catch it . The shade is nice, but with a cold pool I would have liked less shade. Final thoughts: Our family of 4 stayed in the room. It was two adults and a 14 and 15 year old. They made us pay an extra 10 dollars for each child per night. After they told me about the charge I asked if they will then provide a roll away bed and they said it would be an extra 10 dollars a night for it. This then then raised our price per night by 30 dollars. When I first booked the price seemed economical but after adding all the fees for our children and then dealing with broken pool heater and hot tub, and the small room I am not sure the price was worth it. I heard the hotel was recently taken over by a new company so hopefully they will fix some of the problems and update some of the rooms.
