You cannot check in until 4pm and the waterpark closes at 8pm. Doesn’t leave you a lot time to enjoy the park. Also you don’t even get a complimentary cup of coffee when you wake up??! Just a little cheap Kcup in the room would be nice? You can go to the cheapest motel and still get a complimentary coffee. Totally not worth the money you spend….

While the cost to enter is low, everything inside is very expensive, almost prohibitively expensive for my family of six. The room amenities were lacking ie no coffee machine or even free coffee and water in the lobby, no extra towels or bedding in the room, no seating, and most of the TV channels didn't work.

I was so afraid of what our stay would look like from the mixed reviews. But our trip was 100% perfect. The whole family had a great time and we full intend on going back! Rooms were very clean- NO BEDBUGS! The waterpark was a perfect size. It is smaller than a resort because this is an old hotel with a small waterpark added on. It was not built that way! The views were gorgeous. Parking was easy. Staff was always kind. Life guards were so nice. There were plenty of chairs and towels. My kids enjoyed themselves a lot in the arcade ( it was spotless too). Starbucks available all day was great. Fromt desk got us checked in under 10 mins. If you want an upgraded hotel stay from the norm, this place is amazing.

Room great, breakfast great, lifeguards weren't on the same page on what rules they were enforcing and which ones they're were being meh about. Telling a kid multiple times that's they are tall enough for the pool and then one lifeguard pull said kid out of the pool and says no too short you have to have a life vest on.

First time going to this waterpark. It wasn’t packed at all and room was ready when we got there early. Room was nice, but for a kids waterpark they didn’t have kid channels for my kids to watch when back in the room. A lot of the kids activities weren’t open and some swimming areas were closed. Overall it was an okay experience, probably won’t return though.
