Howling good time
Weather was not amazing, but you didn't have to leave the building for anything. Everyone was friendly willing to help. Clean clean clean! Grand kids love the water park. Magic quest is in need of some serious updating. Took two days to get the wand to work to complete the quest. As much as folks like to play this game and sink a ton of money to play it, it seems like the company can invest in new technology.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The water area was nice and clean. The room carpet was very gross. Beds and bedding are very uncomfortable. Prices are very gauged. 4.99 for a bottle of ice tea. The bar and grill restaurant didn’t have a bar tender so they wouldn’t even serve the kids milkshakes or anything and the food was super gross and expensive. I mean really gross. If we ever go back we will definitely bring all our own drinks and eat at restaurants not at the hotel. And bring our own bedding. They seriously need to clean the carpets in the rooms. Not just vacuum actually clean them cause they are nasty.

Kids loved the water park. Two years ago, we took our grandchildren to the Wolf Lodge in Massachusetts and liked that one more. We liked the Halloween decorations. It would have been nice if there was a "real" magic show. The event that was posted as a Monday morning activity was only for the exclusive higher-paying guests in the Paws program. Kids were disappointed when they arrived at the lobby at 10:00 am and turned away. We reserved 2 rooms - 162 and 177. Carpets were in need of replacement. We didn't want kids sitting on the floor. A separate "baby" pool is required. Why were kids under 2 allowed in the hot tub? Unsanitary with diapers on. Plumbing needs repair in room 177, the bathtub valve was so loose the water temp kept fluctuating and had to be reset and held by hand when in use. With a broken valve hot water could scald young children in tub. Why is there a $30 towel charge on my charge card without prior approval? There was no notification at the waterpark at the time towels were accepted....also no verbal notice from attendant or sign posted? Liked the Dunkin Donuts option but the line was too long. We didn't spend much time eating at the Lodge restaurant because breakfast buffet prices were exorbitant for small children who don't eat much.
