This is my second time staying at the emerald and I was pretty disappointed with my visit—the only reason I booked this place was because I wanted my son to swim in the pool. He has autism and loves water and since the weather has not been good, I wanted to book specifically a hotel with an indoor pool. The first time I stayed at the hotel was lovely-my son had a lot of fun and it was overall a good trip so I figured, why not? It’s for his birthday. Upon arrival, I checked in, we bought pool toys, floaties and everything so we can have a fun pool day and the second we step in the cool, it was so cold to the point my son could not swim in it. Weird because the pool rules indicate water temps would be 80-85. I ended up letting hotel staff about the situation and they seemed puzzled and did not do anything about this. So we decided to visit the hot tub and it was so filthy. The water was BROWN and murky and there was patches of hair in it. When I alerted hotel staff, they cleaned it out but no further explanation was given to me about the cold pool. My stay was disappointing and I will probably not stay here anymore, I spent $150 and did not even enjoy my stay. At least the beds were comfy? I’ll give them that. But it was hard to get comfortable with the musty carpet smell.
