Great waterpark! My kids had a great time. My only suggestion would be, if you’re going to be strict on not letting outside drinks and food in, customers shouldn’t have to stand in line for 45+ mins to order.

Room was decent size. The couch had some stains on it and also the rug. Walls are very thin and can hear people/kids running through the hall. Waterpark was the saving grace. Hours are weird but we stayed during the weekend. Staff was very friendly!

Room was awesome - loved the set-up with the front "living room" style and a back bedroom. Only thing I didn't love was the waterpark was very dark - very little lighting beyond the natural light coming in thru windows. But overall awesome.

It was so incredibly expensive for the value. The room we stayed in was over $300 including taxes for a room they only charge $164 on a weekday. The hotel was over crowded and I truly dislike that you can only use the stairs in an emergency. If you won’t let people use the stairs then you need more than 2 elevators.

Great water park for kids. Rooms were remodeled surface-level but felt a bit grubby (rust, water stains, stained grout). We would come back, yes, but the images online made the rooms look totally refreshed when they were only partially lipsticked.
