Staff was great, loved the water park. Con was that the water park is so packed that it was impossible to find seating. As far as rooms, the bathroom door didn’t lock and the pillows were very uncomfortable. They didn’t have any guest info in the rooms which was unfortunate. Enjoyed our stay after a long week of traveling but overly expensive for what was experienced.

Room was nice and clean, but the air conditioning would not stay a constant temp. We sweated or froze on the same temperature. The walls were thin, we woke up to crying baby somewhere nearby both mornings. There was a daily parking charge that appeared at checkout which wasn’t disclosed, but we talked to the front desk and it was comped, which was appreciated. Would stay there again if in the area, but didn’t use the water park and the breakfast closed earlier than we got out each day so I can’t comment on that.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Poor and limited breakfast. Waterpark closed due to non-existant weather and staff was quite rude about it. My phone said it was a good time to take a walk, but the waterpark staff said there was a storm and lightning and kept park closed. I had to pay extra for waterpark passes that we couldn't use. Rooms are small and dark. On the plus side, the waterpark is a nice facility and we like the 12:00 p.m. check-out time, but this place is very costly and we expected much more for $700.00 for two nights.

You win some, yo

They closed the indoor waterpark because of lightning (!) and did not give us a price reduction. Motorcyclists took up too many spots in the parking lot and the hotel did nothing. The front desk person was sullen and unhelpful. But, the room was clean and the breakfast was great.
