The room we were given was not in a good location. We were in the corner, lower level. All we heard was ac units running all day an looking at the back of the towel cabana. This location made the room feel musky.

Our family had a great time. Our girls built bears, the lady in that store was amazing and great with our kids. Rooms were clean and great location. Waterpark was enjoyable, we spent most of the time in the tiny kids area. My only complaint would be the older kids playing on the little double slide and splashing and kicking my 18 month old.

Wonderful indoor waterpark. So many fun slides for all ages adults included. The rooms in the main lodge were def a little outdated but overall it was a blast. A+ for the lifeguards being on top of their training game.

First thing the air wasn't working so the nice maintenance man tried to fix it then ended up replacing the whole unit then the kitchen plugs didn't work and our room was right bedside the housekeeping room so it was loud all day. Plus we had the only room on that side with no outside deck. If u have small kids it perfect. Ours is 12 and it didn't work for us!
