Staff was great. The hotel is pretty run down. A lot could be improved. It’s a super 8 with a great waterpark. Average breakfast.

The water park and pool were closed during my stay. The place was like a ghost town. There were maybe 4 cars in the parking lot. It looked like they were closed- there weren’t any lights on in the lobby- kind of scary to drive up. The rooms were half remodeled. There was gross yellowed wallpaper in the bathroom. The sink would barely drain and the toilet made a loud squealing noise when it was flushed. The door across the hall was totally kicked in and cracked. Their breakfast consisted of burned coffee, a few bottles of juice and some packaged muffins. Maybe this place is better during the summer season. But I will not be returning.

Rooms were dirty, pull out couch was clearly not changed or cleaned. Smoke detector was actually pulled out of ceiling and missing. Crazy when we all actually had to leave building or room up main floor due to fire alarms going off. They could have mentioned when we booked, no liquor license and could not serve in restaurant or hotel. Just run down and needs more help and upgrades but kids had fun, so we made best of it.

My kids loved this place, the arcade and water park was a lot of fun! Room was clean, con was that there was no alcohol sales during our stay due to new management and waiting for liquor license.The water park needs updated but still a lot of fun. If it wasnt for that would of given 5 stars.
