The pool was freezing. I was having a bday party for my 6 year old we had family surprise us and show up to visit and the guy at the desk said that my visitors had to leave in 15 minutes or I would have to leave. They were going to just go ahead and stay there also but not after that I checked out a day early. The pool was freezing the kids couldn't even stand it.

We stayed in a hot tub room and it was by far the best hot tub/whirlpool private room I have ever stayed in. The heart shaped tub was huge and the Jets had a lot of pressure. Only downfall was it took forever to fill up and it blew cold air from the Jets, which cooled the hot tub faster, but we will definitely stay in again. They need to also vent the whirlpool rooms because there is mold growing above it on the ceiling and all the floors get slick in the room from the condensation. The free breakfast at the restaurant was awesome and the service was great. All employees were very kind. Beds were comfortable. I really enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend it.
