The water park was great minus for they only had 10 attractions and at any time only half were open. The room was nice but you can tell the cleaners don’t move furniture often to clean under stuff or bend over to clean under tables and vanities. Anything visible was clean though.

The bathrooms outside of our rooms were dirty. I got charged 192.24 bc the person who checked us in forgot to click a button saying we booked from Expedia and that made it charge us another night. When I asked for a receipt or something that would say that I would get refund the manager Shane told me that wasn’t possible still waiting to see if they refunded me as my bank did not release the funds yet! Kids were running through the halls as well all hours of the night! Plus side our room was clean
