The pool was wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised by the cute little balcony. The continental breakfast was delish. The area in town was beautiful, lots of cute shops in the walkable downtown. Im looking forward to a return trip.

Great little getaway for families!

We go here a few times a year, great for a quick get-away for the kids and waterpark is perfect for little kids, also love the indoor-outdoor hot tub. My only complaint is the breakfast: would like to see a hot egg and protein option to round it out and less use of styrofoam.

Nice looking hotel with great pools

Hotel is a nice log cabin rustic look. Pools & water slides are fun. Arcade sucks, doesn't take quarters, have to buy a card or tokens. Breakfast is horrible! Front desk was nice & efficient, pool staff was great. Room was not very clean & the nice patio was dirty & dead bugs everywhere.

This is a great hotel if you have little kids. The waterpark within the hotel is very nice. There could be some updates that would make it this place a little bit better. There are two waterslides a pool and a hot tub in a small kid pool. The pool and hot tub are both indoor and outside. Staff are very nice. I like that. There is showers in the pool area bathrooms this hotel is about a two minute drive from the waters downtown area
