Maintenance Required

The hotel is in major need of maintenance. The carpet had a hole in it, the door had a crack at the bottom, the desk drawer would not stay closed, and a lot of evidence of wear and tear that have been neglected.

We had a great time! Only issue was housekeeping didnt clean our room. They did call in a manager and our room was #5 that she had to clean. I hope the morning person was fired. We will absolutely go again, the grands had such an exciting time.

Nice environment for little kids. Expect crowds in the water park in the afternoon as the hotels sells day passes to the public. Plan on 9am to 1pm for the most freedom. In the water. Hotel and water park is dated and could use some dressing up. Breakfast eating area is small for all the family traffic it sees in the morning. Very limited seating.

Save your money

Bathroom vent didnt work causing tons of steam in room after shower. My child and i both stubbed our toes on the door stopper causing them to bleed. Elevators were so congested that trying to get out of the hotel was a nightmare. No luggage carts available so toting up children and luggage was exhausting

Good breakfast and hotel room was clean. It’s definitely outdated and worn down in the waterpark along with some of the hotel amenities considering the nightly rate you pay. The kids had fun at the waterpark and enjoyed the games that were lead by staff.

Way too many people for 2 elevators. Very, very long line for breakfast which was included. The pool was nice but I believe people from the outside are allowed in if they pay. Makes it difficult for patrons who paid to stay and play.

The front desk was helpful and responsive. Stephanie was especially wonderful. The concession stand at the water park and the manager at Tony Roma’s were rude and we had to basically beg for food. Food at the concession stand was over done and gross. Tony Roma’s food was good and the hostess and waiter were great. The manager originally refused us service because we had 11 people and she said the kitchen was too busy. The hostess and waiter were great and apologized for the manager. There were plenty of tables open and we said we didn’t mind waiting.

Hotel was clean and staff were great! Quick check in! The waterpark was great and our children (2, 4, & 11) loved it! There are spots of the waterpark that could use come work as I would say the equipment is showing its age but the water was warm, staff were awesome, plenty of towels, maybe could use a little more seating/tables. Great stay and experience, would for sure go back again!
