Convenient and good for what we needed it for.

It was convenient to the activities we were doing. The beds were comfortable. The place is a little dated but it was good for the two nights we needed it. The continental breakfast was good enough but we went to have breakfast somewhere else.

Thumbs up

Hotel was nice. Room was big and clean. My kids loved the pool, it was big, clean and had lots of lounge chairs. Didn’t use mini golf but it looked like lots of fun. My only complaint was breakfast, not good could be a lot better. But overall our stay was pleasant and would definitely stay again in the future.

We found the Inn at the Waterpark to be perfect for us. Our granddaughter loved the pool and the mini golf. The breakfast was good. The room was spacious and clean. It is a great location to attractions. Also, it's a straight shot down 81st street to Seawall Blvd. Also, the staff were all helpful and friendly. All in all, we highly recommend this hotel.

Pretty good for one night before a cruise

Room was very clean and neat. Minimal low quality toiletries. Beds were full, not Queen so that was a not very good nights sleep. Staff was great. The biggest problem we had was the room they put us in was on the “2nd” floor, which was actually the third. No elevator in this building so we all had to lump our luggage up two flights of stairs. Hotel was not full at all, so I don’t know why they couldn’t have put us ground level or in the building with the elevator.

Old, But OK

The hotel is old and a little worn down. However, I didn’t get a dirty feeling from the hotel and it is walking distance from the water park. No need to drive. The on-site miniature golf is free with the booking, which is a plus! I would stay here again.

Inn is nice. Room had great AC. My only complaint was the upkeep of things. Elevator area was dated and seemed unsafe. Putt-putt was in TERRIBLE shape. Turf is so tore up you can barely play. They only had orange balls so playing with the family was interesting. That was a major draw for staying there and it very much disappointed. Staff was very friendly. Inn was very quiet. No other complaints
