Disappointed

We booked this hotel as it was connected to the water park and we stayed over Christmas , Room was a bit dirty mostly in the kitchen area .My wife cleaned everything with Clorox wipes prior to using kitchen . Beds were okay . We had a room on the first floor and was a little noisy . When you turned the bathroom fan on it smelled like weed , so that’s fun with kids …Probably won’t stay here again .

Family vacation success!

Family vacation…..3 - 2 bdrm suites. So comfortable & spacious. Had all the extras needed in the kitchenette. Loved that the water park was free to all hotel guests as of 1/1/2025! All staff was very accommodating. We had to leave a day early bc weather. No charges.

We have been staying here once or twice a year for six years due to the water park. Every year but this one has been great. The room was dirty, beds hard as a rock, stayed on the second floor and at 1 in the morning I thought the party on the floor above us was falling into our room.the young man working evening of November 30th was absolutely as rude as he could be when we asked about getting our water park admission that evening. Sad we liked staying here.

Very nice hotel and great location

Everything was great until we went to take showers. The shower had no door and drained very slowly - not exactly the type of shower you would expect on a family vacation. Other than that, our stay was very nice and comfortable.
