We make a point to stay here every year and every year it gets better and better. One of the cleanest hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The property is so well taken care of, staff is friendly and helpful. 10/10. Wish we came through more often. Kids had a blast at the water park! Rooms are quiet, and the beds are comfy!

I have been coming to this hotel since I was 7 years old. 21 years later, when I bring my kids, I still get as excited as I used to when I was their age. Thank you for being such a great part of our tradition, and I’m excited for all of the great memories to come!

We chose this place because it has a waterpark in the building and our 2 boys very much look forward to it. It's a great idea, but when you walk in you can only smell chlorine and it's hard to breath. The room and whole building is outdated and run down. 'm certain there is even mildew in the room we stayed in, I have a sensitive nose to I can smell even the tiniest hint of things. The staff were SUPER FRIENDLY and very kind and the only reason (besides being too tired) we ended up just keeping our reservation. I think it's fun for a day or 2 and if you're not too picky about smells.

Cleanliness issues throughout the hotel and in our room. We have stayed here many times before, but it seems to be going downhill. Cleaning was not being done during our stay. Our room had wet carpets and a wet musty smell. It was difficult to sleep because of the musty smell.
