The water park is fun. Kids loved it. Its super warn in parts and lots of rust. However it was a blast. The arcade is actually pretty cheap. The kids got $20 each and played a little longer than an hour. The restaurant was meh. Wouldnt go there again. Rooms are rooms. The hotel is pretty good over all for price.

The staff was not very friendly and when they had to close the water park, they made no offer. To reopen after the storm was over Or do a partial Refund. The only reason we chose that hotel was the water park that we never got to use

Was very disappointed that the Waterpark closed at check in time and opened the next day at check out time. Would be nice to know these things while booking. We went for the Waterpark fun and didn’t even get to use it.

Mayflies everywhere. Room was told had river view, which it sort of does but really mostly air-conditioning units. Anyone with emf sensitivity like me, will get dizzy and nauseous in the room.

Beautiful location on the Mississippi. The rooms are outdated but clean. Nothing special. The restaurant is convenient, large and has entertainment in summer. The waterpark is definitely for young toddlers. No pool just slides and closes very early at 8pm. Wish they had an actual pool.

I will never use Expedia again. They fail to offer the fact the water Park closes at 4pm on Sunday and opens at 11am Monday. In other words...you check in on a Sunday and it's closed and doesn't open til you check out Monday. HUGE waste of money. Only use Grand harbour to reserve a room! Their site shows hours of water Park.
