Awesome guest service. We needed to move rooms and they accommodated us- their maintenance guy helped my son with the TV and was so kind and professional. Even bringing us an extra blanket when he saw we needed one. Top notch!!

Fun place, but crowded

Overall we enjoyed our quick one night stay! Hotel room sermed mostly clean and well stocked. We didn't have any issue with noise from surrounding rooms even though we had a connecting room (the other room may have been empty though). We could hear kids running up and down the hall quite a bit but thats to be expected in a place like this. Waterpark was fun, but crowded. Definitely not enough chairs/tables for people, especially with families taking up multiple tables per group. Our only real complaint/concern is one that i'm not sure how the hotel themselves could fix - behavior of children at the waterpark. The amount of unsupervised, and wild kids there was frustrating. We expect lots of kids, and loud and crazy behavior etc, but kids literally taking a tube out of my 6 year olds hands? Shoving him out of the way in line for a slide, literally running in the lazy river and flipping my sons tube over among other frustrating behavior, made us not spend as much time in the waterpark as we had anticipated. We did go back in the morning at opening, and it was definitely better. Overall though we did enjoy the stay, and would consider visiting again when in the area!

Family Birthday

Pool area could use updating, paint was noticably peeling off walls and lack of water tubes on weekends. Many pool activites for a small area, nicely laid out. Arcade had multiple out of order games. Nice clean rooms. Front desk and housekeeping staff was friendly. Good stay, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to stay again.
