Rooms were very nice. The water slides were fantastic. Very nice place for kids

Great staff and fun water park.

Overall it was a great stay. The only thing that would have been better is if there were vegetarian options other than toast and ceral at breakfast.

Had the JV team working haha we came right after 3 pm when check in is and the room wasn’t ready. Breakfast wasn’t great either

This was wonderful and clean and the water park was awesome!

Free breakfast subpar.. cheese omlette seemed to be made with cheeze wiz.

Nice place

The staff was good but could’ve been a little friendlier and quite a few of the arcade games weren’t working… lights were on but just kept taking credits from us.

When we checked in the person at the front was super friendly and casual even though you could tell by the line and ringing phones he was quite busy and working alone. The lady at night was very rude and had a scowl on her face the whole time and was very monotone. The pool was awesome and the hot tub. The arcade would’ve been nice to have and the blue slide but things happen beyond their control so overall it was totally worth it and will be doing it again over Christmas!

Price was too high.

The staff was very friendly. Rooms are very spacious and beds are comfortable. The water park was so fun

Nice hotel, good location. Didn’t use the water park but looked nice

NICE ROOMS - GREAT WATER PARK - CLEAN -HELPFUL STAFF

Came for and enjoyed the waterpark. Things went very well considering all the restrictions that need to be followed.

Nice water park for the family to go. Friendly staff with a snack bar in the pool area.
