Was a great stay. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Breakfast selection was okay. We make a weekend trip here every here for the water park. This year, there were no hockey teams staying here which was great. The indoor air temp in the water park was cold one of the days and the water temp in the kids area was quite cold also. Kind of killed the fun. The kids got chlorine rashes from swimming. The bar/food area is always nice for a quick lunch. All in all, was a nice stay. Pretty fair priced. Will stay again. 4/5 stars.
