I loved the location woukd recommend anyone going up to niagara falls for me it was right in the middle, and they have a ton of things to do. The bad i wish guests at the location can get a break at the water park or even a discount for kids and food at the location is slim....

I wish I had been told in advance that there was construction going on , the letter in my room after I drove 5 hours didn’t help. . The windows of my room were wrapped in plastic the one full day I was there. Room service never came even though we left out the sign on the door. The steak house ended up being closed, nice if I knew that in advance too. I picked the wrong time to go, there was a group they took over the fire pit area and my daughter and I could not use the area to melt the smoores being offered. Starbucks looses nice, Murphy beds needs help, falling apart. We found a nice golf spot, Elm Tree, liked it better than Willowbrook set up. I usually do not so reviews, the place is clean, we picked the wrong few days to go

It was ok

The building is pretty - a ski resort in the winter. But the room itself was just ok. It wasn't super clean and the beds were uncomfortable. But it did have a kitchen and most of the necessities... pots, pans, dishes. If you want to make your own coffee, bring your own coffee filter.
