Great Place for the Family

Hotel was clean. Staff was helpful and courteous. The price of the room was reasonable and the cost of the hotel shops and restaurants wasn't outrageous. I would definitely go back.

Fun for young children

My children 3,6 &7 had a great time. The entire waterpark was age appropriate for all three kids. I feel this is a great getaway for kids 10 and under, older than that I bet they would be a little bored. Check-in isn't until 4 but you can use the waterpark at 1 the day of check-in. Our room was ready at 1 when we arrived. You can use the waterpark the day of checkout until close. 2 days of water fun and 1 night hotel for 5 for $200, not too bad!

Good Getaway

To the adults the hotel is okay, I must admidt the room was very clean also large(considering i wanted a family cabin). Now for the kids they had a wonderful time, the water park was great for them. And when you really think about it that's all parents are looking for. family happiness.

The Staff Made the Difference

My kids are older now and not as thrilled with the water slides as they used to be. The thing that kept them coming back for more was the friendliness and fun of the staff/lifeguards, especially at the highest slides.

Wonderful Indoor Waterpark for little ones!

Hotel was adorable and perfect for little ones. My teens enjoyed, but thought it was geared more towards younger children.

Fishermen's Cabin

This is a motel out of the 1960's . You know the tiny room with a bathroom. This is not a family motel and would be great for some fishermen buddies to stay a cheap night at. Very musty, very small, dirty carpet, no internet service unless you like standing in the parking lot.
