You get what you pay for. When we checked in, there were no night shift workers and had to check in for our room down the road at another hotel. This is way better than the Crown Plaza though! Everything was clean. Just felt sketchy at night with no workers in the building.

Check in is at the Crown hotel next door. Room was a little dated but right near the lake and town, close enough to walk to attractions. Room has a coffee maker similar to keurig, but would not fit k cups or other brands. So if you are one to bring your own coffee, it won’t work here.

The pool and Waterpark are the reasons we stayed here. The pools and pool area could use some attention, but it was decent enough. I did step on something sharp in the Waterpark area which had to be pulled out of my foot and bled a lot, so I've got that going for me. Here's hoping for no infections!
