Avoid Staying at Hotel - Get Day Passes Instead

I have say I was VERY disappointed in our stay. Our reservation clear was for 4 people. Our room was set for 2 people in regards to towels and supplies. The fire alarm went off 3 times during our stay- twice during sleeping time and waking us up. Our room was on the main floor. The people above us were very loud. The walls must be very thin as we were able to hear their conversation as, their foot steps sounded like a herd of elephants over our room and continued well into the night. Their TV was so loud it woke me up several times Additionally, the mattresses in our room sagged and squeaked every time we shifted positions in bed. The electrical outlets in our room did not charge any of our phones over night. The breakfast was chaotic at best. Food was constantly empty. It took several requests for staff to refill silverware, napkins and food items. The waterpark was over crowded and unclean. Again very disappointed in our stay.

Good waterpark, subpar hotel

Water park was very nice and well maintained with friendly lifeguards. The hotel itself needed more comfortable furniture/beds, more lighting (we were in the largest family suite with 5 kids), and could have been better cleaned. For the price with the waterpark it was definitely worth it though.

This was a pretty bad experience. First, yes, the hotel has been redone... but the rooms are so dimly lit and cold feeling that it's really off putting. Also, the 2nd room in the family suite has no heat so it's like an icebox. When we went to pull out the couch bed - it was completely covered in food. The bedding was so old and ratty that there were holes in the sheets. The waterpark was ok, really in need of an upgrade. Almost none of the water features in the little kid area were working and so if you're going with a child under 8, DON'T. There is one slide they can go on. Also, there aren't enough tubes so it's a mad race to get one and you better hang onto it. The pool "locker rooms" are not locker rooms... they are pretty much bathrooms with a few showers...nowhere to change or set clothes or anything. Lastly, bring a towel, because they will be out.
