Hello,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide you with the results of the room inspection for bed bugs. I am pleased to inform you that the inspection yielded a negative result, indicating that no bed bugs were detected in the room.
Our team conducted a thorough examination, checking all potential areas of concern. There were no signs of bed bugs, and the room was deemed to be clear.
After carefully examining the picture they provided, it has been determined that the insect in question is not a bed bug but rather a stink bug. Stink bugs don't bite; therefore, they are not typically dangerous to humans. Although harmless. Stink bugs thrive in warm temperatures and will mostly invade your house during the winter.
Rest assured, our team is committed to maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for all our guests. If you have any further questions or additional concerns that need addressing, please feel free to reach out.I wanted to bring to your attention that the image provided appears to have been sourced from the internet and does not seem to be connected to our property.

I reserved a room after confirming at the time of reservation that I could get to the water park without leaving the hotel. I confirmed this again at check in and was told Yes both times, however I had to exit the hotel to get to the water park and was told by staff that the connection from the hotel to the water ark has been closed all of summer season as well. While here my heat doesnt work and in order to get a room with a working heater I have to drive 9 minutes back to the main check in building but was told they arent sure the room theyre giving me has working heat. Its late and a very dark area. So I have to be uncomfortable and cold in this room all night while I have chronic pain and cold flares my pain or I have to feel unsafe and drive in this very dark area and not even know if the heat will work once I return. I asked if the staff could bring the change in key. They said no I asked if they could check the heater in the room first, they said they would have it check but when I called back there wasnt an answer.Business Response

I reserved day pass tickets online for my family of six. When reserving these tickets, parking price was not disclosed on the reservation page, or anywhere on their website (screen shots included). This led to two unexpected charges of $35 (two vehicles). Full disclosure of the pricing, to include parking, should be included on the reservation page and I would like the $70 for parking refunded due to the parks inaccurate disclosure of pricing. I spoke with a mt olympus manager regarding this and he stated that you would have to call mt. olympus and specifically request the price for parking when making a reservation. He admitted that the price for parking is not included on their website. Their indoor waterpark and theme park were also closed, which was not disclosed when making online reservations. I would like a partial refund of my ticket price of $176.34 due to the park not disclosing this information on their reservation page (screen shots also show that this information is not disclosed when reserving). Safety is also not enforced in the park, despite the conduct/safety guidelines listed on their website and the recordings played prior to rides, (screen shots included). Our family went on one of the go cart rides and while on this ride there was another guest who was continuously ramming other riders on the track, eventually spinning out one of my family members on the ride. He then proceeded to slam into the line of stopped carts when the ride was finished. The attendant who witnessed this laughed when he saw the guest slam into the line of stopped carts and when I addressed this guests behavior throughout the entire ride the attendant said "what am I supposed to do about it" and turned away.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.A deceptive practice is considered one that misleads or omits information that is likely to mislead the customer, which applies in this complaint. I consider the pricing information on Mt. Olympus's website to be deceptive/false and misleading as there were hidden fees (parking) that were not disclosed, causing the final price paid to be substantially higher than the advertised price, (the price of parking was more than the price of a ticket). I also feel that their pricing information was deceptive/false/misleading as they did not provide information, when purchasing tickets, that two portions of their park were closed. The business stated in their response that my experience was "not up to their standards", but despite this and the fact they they mislead customers, as to the total price of admission to their park and open attractions, refused to refund the parking fees and partial ticket prices.

We called several times to cancel and refund reservation number *******. Upon checking in, I was feeling ill and the front desk informed me the charges were much higher than expected due to large resort fee ($139), more than the cost of the room for 2 nights ($100). I asked to cancel the reservation and refund our money, but they said no. Then when we looked at our room, it was super dirty and in disrepair. Trash all over the halls. Carpet moldy. Bed cover torn and dirty. Windows dirty. And on and on. I was feeling extremely ill at this point. We left the resort immediately so that I would not spread my illness to anyone. On the way out of town, I called to ask for a refund and cancelation. They refused. I said I was too sick to stay and the room was horrible and did not want to spread my illness. She said we could have a credit voucher, but I need to physically return to the desk in 30 minutes. I could not as I was too ill and driving out of town with my 11 year old son. I never plan to return to the nasty resort or use any of the broken features. We never stayed. It's gross and unsafe. Not healthy. What a scam. Please refund my $269.34 that I asked for on August 14th when we could not stay. I cannot afford to lose the money.Business Response

Hello,
We do apologize for the issues that you had with your most recent reservation. Unfortunately because you did not return to the desk and turn in your room keys/bands we need to look into things further. We currently are getting a lock reading done on the room to see the specific times the room was entered. As it stands right now We had that you checked in and stayed. We even have that you told our staff you were coming to the front desk to turn everything in and ended up not showing up. If you have any further questions please give us a call and we would be happy to help. ************.

We did not stay in the room. We left. The room was absolutely unhealthy and unsafe. Numerous customers have communicated to you the same concern and yet you continue to take their money and fix nothing. This is a scam and horrible business. Address the issue by refunding my payment. Then, repair and update your resort. Stop advertising false information. I was sick and could not return, so we never stayed and told you we could not return. Please resolve the issue by providing a full refund.

Thank you for your patience and allowing us to resolve this issue for you. Upon doing a lock reading for your room we concluded that the room was not entered after 5pm on 8/14 which was your day of check in. Since the reservation was made under non refundable terms you agreed upon this money can be used as a credit for a *********** as a one time curtesy. Upon leaving the premises you were instructed to stop by the front desk and return the wristbands which you failed to do. We understand that there were special circumstances and will honor the credit for a ***********. We regret to inform you that no refund will be provided for this reservation. Again thank you for reaching out and please do not hesitate to reach out to us again!

We stayed at Mt Olympus from 7/28/22-7/31/23. Our room was absolutely disgusting. Their brown stuff spilled down the bathroom sink that was never cleaned. There were bugs in the shower. The halls and elevators were absolutely disgusting. The food was so overpriced. $5.00 dollars for a pop. People were smoking in the theme park and water park. On the website says the indoor water park and theme park were open. ******** services were absolutely rude about everything you asked. The website says there is complimentary breakfast. That was a lie. The website says rooms are 50 % off , but it costs over ***** dollars to stay. Fees that are charged are ******, so that's how they make up for the fake discount on rooms. All you could smell in Marijuana in the halls and absolutely everywhere in the hotel. No one ever cleaned our room or replaced towels. There is only one place to eat in the hotel. Some people want to stay at the hotel and not run all over the place. When we sis eat it was ***** for a burger, fries, chicken strips and 2 drinks. Everything closes at 8, so the kids are bored and want to spend a bunch of money in the arcade. The lady at the bar served someone before us, and it was 5 mins before it closed, and she wouldn't serve us and said it was closed. You couldn't hardly find anyone in the shops so you had to go search. There was food and drinks spilled in the theme park and water park that you had to walk around. The tubes were flat for the lazy river, and it was a s*** show trying to get in and out. You could hardly find tubes because everyone was saving them. Kids were running in it, so you were constantly getting pushed into the wall. The go carts say a certain height online, but when you go to them, they say a different height. My son was tall enough to drive, but they wouldn't let him. One sign he was tall enough and they next time he wasn't because now of them are measured correctly. I will never stay at this place again. It was the worst experience I've ever had.Business Response

Hello *****,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your negative experience at Mt Olympus. It seems like there were numerous issues ranging from cleanliness problems, overpriced amenities, misleading information, and unhelpful customer service. Bugs in the room, dirty hallways, high prices, and inconsistent height requirements for attractions all contributed to your dissatisfaction. If you could also please forward us as well the link on our website for the complimentary breakfast for the hotel to addressed the information as we do not provide breakfast it would be greatly appreciated. Also height limits are mandatory for safety reasons. I have also included here the park hours for the indoor waterpark that shows indoor is closed with the exemption of the indoor expansion.

So you expect customers to pay thousands to stay for a terrible experience. Basically you are okay with customers being treated poorly, having to deal with nasty room, halls, *************. I'll make sure go announce this on every site I can. I'll make sure to make a comment on trip advisor to let them know about my experience so they don't have to deal with what we did which is where I found info about breakfast that was answered by you. Here's the link to that false information.********************************************************************************************************************My uncle ************************* is a state representative who speaks to *********************** quite often. I will make sure that they announce how Mt Olympus treats their customers so they let inform people that it's better to stay in **** then to travel over 3 hours to stay in a disgusting, false advertising, rude customer service **********************. Also, you apparently didn't understand my comment about height requirements. None of your height signs are the same. Every single one is different. You need to fix them so customers don't waste an hour plus to be told he wasn't talking enough.

I wish I could say it was a great and that we had a fantastic time, but that is not the case, We stayed at Mt. Olympus for by daughters birthday, we rented a cabin so we could have that camping experience as well, upon are arrival to the cabin there was trash scattered at the door, inside there was a big wet spot on the bed, there were also a lot of cigarette butts laying out in the front that my husband had to pick up so the kids were not running through them, needless to say we were not pleased but we were not going to let this ruin our time, we headed to the water park, after that we went back to cabin to get changed and have a cookout before heading downtown, the bathrooms were terrible, dirty diapers, trash everywhere, mildew stalls, again not going to let this ruin our time, so after coming back from all the attractions we were going to do cake for my daughters birthday and let the kids make smores, as I was putting candles on the cake I seen something on the bed, it was a bed bug, my husband came back from the bathroom and confirmed thats what it was (he has rental properties and has had to deal with them from tenants, so he definitely knows what they look like) we put it in a baggie to show staff, at this point we have had enough, we called the resort to let them know what was going on, they said they would move us to a new cabin, so we pack everything up and drive to check in, we get the keys and head to the new cabin, when we get there we see the bed is filthy dirt on the pillowcases hair in the bed along with what appeared to be grass, this is unacceptable so we head back to check in, where they move us to another cabin, at this time we ask to have someone meet us there to check the cabin with us because at this point it seems like maybe we are making this stuff up because this just seems ridiculous, we were told that the person had 10 other stops before they could meet us there, they told us to dial 0 on the phone if there were anymore problems so we didnt have to drive back again, at this point out kids are in the car sleeping we didnt get to her cake for her birthday its going on 1 am we have been up since 5 am to drive there, we are exhausted and just want to sleep after all check out is at 10 and we dont even have a place to stay, so we go to what is now the 3rd cabin, and wouldnt you know there was a pill on the floor, medicine wrappers on the side of the bed, floor was dirty, hair everywhere. We went to go dial 0 and guess what there is no phone, so we head back to check in where now they are going to put us in a hotel room, at this point we dont even care we are exhausted our kids have spent half the night sleeping in the car, by the time we find a spot to park which is not close to the door and lug all our stuff into the room it was after 2am, so much for getting up early and spending the day at the water park and going to do more of the attractions before we were to get back on the road to head home. So no it was not a good time, very disappointing, I have heard good things about the place and was hoping this was going to be the first of many more times going but sadly this experience was awful and dont think we will be returning. I was also told a manger would be contacting me by phone or email and never heard from anyone.Business Response

I made a reservation on April 6th for July 17th through the 20th with 2 queen ***** bunk bed and balcony fully paid off for $860.87. I lost my credit card that I made the reservation on but I had my ID and bank statement showing my lost card that was used for the reservation so when I get to the hotel, they tell me that I can't go through with my reservation without the physical card present! I tell them that I have my ID matching the reservation and my bank statement as proof and they can see that it was fully paid off but still refused me and told me that I had to do a refund and pay again with my new card. So i basically paid twice for the room!! They told me that they were going to do an immediate refund and I should receive it within 3-5 business days when I didn't receive it, I called mt Olympus and talked to the manager and she said oh no it takes **** business days which is even more inconvenient!!!! I still haven't received my money!!!!! Plus I didn't even get my balcony that I had requested because apparently the person I spoke to never put it in the notes!! So that ruined our vacation even more and then there's false advertising going on with the park hours, they say they close the water park at 7pm but they shut down the rides early and there was nothing wrong with the weather!!! If you say your open till a certain time, you have to honor that!!! Plus the indoor theme park was closed the whole time, one of the roller coasters was closed and we almost got whiplash from the old outdated rides!! They don't have coffee makers which is a disappointment! I'm tired of waiting on my refund, I want my money back plus 50% back of the second payment for the troubles!Business Response

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I did not hang up, the manager hung up on me! I had my ID and bank statement that's good enough instead of making me pay twice! I want my $860.87 back plus half of my second payment!!!

Hello ******,
Upon reviewing on your reservation the refund of $860.87 has been processed, Also I do see that we have given a discount at check in due to the card being not present instead of charging you for $860.87 we only charged you for the room cost of $679.02. Unfortunately that would be the best that we can do at this time.
Thank you,

Checked in on July 25th Initial turned off by the building and the. The inside of the room we booked. We left to eat and check out the rest of the park. Wife stayed back and called my within an hour of my son and I leaving her. She found a bug and a few others, not bed bugs that they later called and said they investigated for. The room smelled of urine and then could be found on our clothes. After just 2 hours we went to the main desk after packing up luggage and told them of the issues we found, they offered to move us but we didnt want to even try another room. They said they would refund us, but since we booked through booking.com they had to waive their commission. We couldnt get ahold of booking.com that night so we left without resolution and found a new place to stay for the night. Then between July 26 and 27th I had email exchanges between booking.com and also my.Olympus. In one email it asked me to call customer service at ************************* which I did, they transferred me to the manager and I had to leave a message. I explained the issue again and left my phone number. I heard nothing back that Thursday. So on Friday the 28th I emailed back on that original response to call them. I received an email that I would hear back in five business days. Now today Sunday the 30th I recieved a phone call that they found no bed bugs, which we never complained about, which now adds to my uneasiness about this resort. All he could offer was ******************************************************* that day. We never wanted moved, plus we never took part in any rides or water park activities and was at the resort for 2 hours. They acted as if they would refund us on Tuesday when we complained initially and now they will just offer ********************************** our mind will never happen, plus we live 7 hours away. I just would like some of my money back for all the hassle and time *** invested into this and never got any of the benefits of staying thereBusiness Response

Hello ******,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we do apologize that your previous stay with us didn't go as planned. Upon reviewing your reservation, we saw that it was made from a 3rd Party. All of the reservations from them were non-refundable and we do apologize that we can't refund any of your money since our hands are tied with regards to it. Unfortunately, 20-25% Future Discount would be the best that we can offer on our end. If by any chance you decided to come and visit *************** again, the Future Discount that was offered for you and your family will always be on the table.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at ************** or email us at ************************************************. Thanks again, and we wish you all the very best in your future.
