Our room was very clean and comfortable but the walls were paper thin! You could hear the guests next door snoring at night and all the hallway traffic (lots of loud kids!) was very annoying. The water park looked fun, we were there for a get-together with friends and never made it in there. The breakfast room was spacious, breakfast offering was average. But again, being located next to the waterpark entrance meant for lots of loud kids. The burgers at the grill located just inside the waterpark were delicious!

Food was good, beds were good, ac worked, had an xbox in kids room so kids could play after swimming! Tub drain plug was broken but we got it figured out!

The bed was terrible. The toilet was dirty and didn’t flush and the breakfast was awful.

I wish the person that checked me out didn't make me feel like a criminal for booking through a 3rd party. This isn't the first time this has happened to me.

We stayed Friday- Sunday and the area of the hotel was very nice. At check in we were given keys to our room and as we opened the door there were already guests in the room and we felt terrible walking in on them. We then went to get new keys and got to our new room. We were fine with our new room. We then realized late Saturday night there was a leak coming from our toilet in our bathroom.. we alerted front desk as we checked out. We had a few issues, but the waterpark was a blast for the kiddo and we also enjoyed the breakfast.
