The staff was very nice and helpful. The room looked nice but after walking around my socks were so dirty. Felt like the floor needed a good cleaning. The room felt very humid. The AC was on but didn’t seem to cool off the room. The woman who worked at the breakfast was very kind and helpful. I’ll definitely be back

The best smaller waterpark hotel my family has stayed at. Everything was very clean. Hotel room was nicer than most and the shower was particularly great. Beds were also very comfortable and we loved having a patio with chairs outside of our room. The pool had lots of options and fun activities for people of all ages. We loved that there were outdoor parts of the pool and jacuzzi. My kids loved the game room and it was easy to load an arcade card and claim ticket prizes from the vending machines. The only complaint we had was that many of the games were out-of-order, only leaving one or two where tickets could be earned for prizes. The game room was also VERY warm. My kids still had a blast, though!
