1 Night Stay

My son and I stayed for 1 night and we both slept great! It felt like we were sleeping on clouds...the beds were so comfortable. The waterslide was so much fun! Not a lot of options for breakfast but we made do. Their breakfast burritos were good!

The water slide was the best for kids and adults! Breakfast could be better. No pancakes or waffles. All to go items (bagels, English muffins, bread, microwave burritos, cereal). Staff were all friendly and polite. Rooms were nice. Super noisy in the morning from other guests before 8:30am (it was like they were the only ones to think about). That was for both our mornings there.

Worst experience. Un supportive

Horrible, after we entered the room the look and feel is worst. The photos are misleading on the site. I immediately search for rooms availability in the other hotels and checked out. We did not get any refund, we requested to provide atleast partial refund but they did not help us. Please be careful to book a room here. Hotels.com also did not help us. A big no in my opinion

Great Pool with Slide

Hotel and pool were great. Our only complaint was that there was a gross crunchy spot on the carpet that looked relatively fresh. We got in late so we didn't contact the desk and just put something over it so that no one stepped on it. Housekeeping should have caught that the day before.

Disappointing room but good service

Lobby looks like a 5 star property but room was a 3 star at best. Room was dated and needed multiple items repaired. Breakfast offerings were nice and staff very friendly and helpful. One nice perk is that laundry area and supplies are complimentary.

Checking into the hotel was a quick and easy process. The hotel staff was very nice and is very convenient. The room was clean and they even left a note welcoming us and the pool was big and had a water slide! My kids had a blast. I definitely recommend
