This property (other than the lobby and breakfast area) is so outdated, it’s embarrassing. The hallways and guest rooms are terrible; carpet gross, walls super dirty, zero upgrades in them. For this being a resort on the river there is a lot of opportunity being missed.

Staff could be just a little friendlier. Check-in shouldn’t be at 4pm if someone is visiting for one night cause now they only have a few hours to spare at the Waterpark. Yes granite you give the visitor

Pool staff were nice. Suggest that check in let people know to bring an ID to the pool if they’d like to get alcoholic drinks. Pool area structures are rusty and look dilapidated.

The carpets in the halls were pretty grungy. In our bathroom the wallpaper was peeling near the ceiling. The shower curtain rod had been replaced a couple times and there were several holes where the old hardware had been. The paint in the room had been touched up and was a near match we could definitely spot the touch ups. The vent in the bathroom was really dirty. However,.. front desk staff and housekeeping staff were absolutely great! Smiles and kindness were abundant and we would stay again! Regardless of the cosmetic deficiencies!
