Great 1st time experience

My family and I took my son here for spring break and I can honestly say that I was impressed. This is a great place for families and everyone in every department of the entire Lodge was very friendly the entire time. This was out first time here and I cannot believe that I have not visited this place sooner. There was so much for us to do and I can honestly say that this was a great visit and this was an everlasting memory for my son. My family and I will definitely return for another visit and we hope to stay a day or two longer next time.

While the overall property and amenities are fine, the lack of staff training diminished the experience. Both my wife and I had asked for our room to be cleaned 5 times over the course of our stay and the room was never cleaned. We had to get new towels, take out the trash and restock the room ourselves.

Wonderful new waterpark. Helpful and curteous staff. Plenty of Greenry and nature. Even though the hotel had huge number of guests, the parking was available. Plenty of things to do on the property. One of the biggest arcade consisting of all kinds of video games. There was a build a bear shop. Mini bowling, indoor mini golf, gift shop, sweet treats, and plenty of drink options. Multiple pools on the property including adults only pools (21 ). There will pool tables and ping pong tables. One area which can be improved is to provide food options for vegetarians. Although there was no vegetarian option available in the restaurant in the property, there were options available with in walking distance. Overall love the experience and would visit again.

The only thing we had a problem with was in the waterpark. The wave pool getting in is super slick. My mom fell and my niece fell and cut her arm all up. Definitely need to have some type of texture on the concrete so more people dont hurt themselves.

The beds were comfortable. The orange scented soap was nice. The water park was pristine and well staffed. I enjoyed the inflatable sling seats for the lazy river. The hot tub was large and indoor/outdoor. The wave pool does not have waves very often or for very long.
