Restaurant connected was great and easy to access. The check in time was right when the water park closed and i thought that was ridiculous for it being 5pm.... Room smelled strange and bed and shower were not impressive whatsoever. Not the getaway i had in mind.

Need added amenities

Not impressed that the hotel is not connected- had to walk in the rain to the fitness room, then back in the rain. No complimentary breakfast offered & the coffee bar had no amenities for a cup of coffee. No microwave or hooks for any of the towels in the rooms.

We loved our room location overlooking the water. Resort restaurants were amazing! Great food and drinks. Swimming pool was jam packed, in our opinion, too full. Convenient parking and location in town and on lake was great.
