You cannot check in until 4pm and the waterpark closes at 8pm. Doesn’t leave you a lot time to enjoy the park. Also you don’t even get a complimentary cup of coffee when you wake up??! Just a little cheap Kcup in the room would be nice? You can go to the cheapest motel and still get a complimentary coffee. Totally not worth the money you spend….

While the cost to enter is low, everything inside is very expensive, almost prohibitively expensive for my family of six. The room amenities were lacking ie no coffee machine or even free coffee and water in the lobby, no extra towels or bedding in the room, no seating, and most of the TV channels didn't work.

I was so afraid of what our stay would look like from the mixed reviews. But our trip was 100% perfect. The whole family had a great time and we full intend on going back! Rooms were very clean- NO BEDBUGS! The waterpark was a perfect size. It is smaller than a resort because this is an old hotel with a small waterpark added on. It was not built that way! The views were gorgeous. Parking was easy. Staff was always kind. Life guards were so nice. There were plenty of chairs and towels. My kids enjoyed themselves a lot in the arcade ( it was spotless too). Starbucks available all day was great. Fromt desk got us checked in under 10 mins. If you want an upgraded hotel stay from the norm, this place is amazing.

Room great, breakfast great, lifeguards weren't on the same page on what rules they were enforcing and which ones they're were being meh about. Telling a kid multiple times that's they are tall enough for the pool and then one lifeguard pull said kid out of the pool and says no too short you have to have a life vest on.

First time going to this waterpark. It wasn’t packed at all and room was ready when we got there early. Room was nice, but for a kids waterpark they didn’t have kid channels for my kids to watch when back in the room. A lot of the kids activities weren’t open and some swimming areas were closed. Overall it was an okay experience, probably won’t return though.

The staff was amazing and the room was extremely clean. We were kinda bummed out at first because a big portion of the waterpark was closed due to a window being unstable. What was still open was awesome and the activities for the kids were also great. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The manager did offer us a chance to come back and check out the park again in the next few months and we took advantage of the opportunity and can’t wait to return! The atmosphere and activities definitely worth the price tag. They have a craft room for the kids, an “Aquarium “ that’s virtual that brings your colored pages to life and dance parties! They also had a live steel drum band that preformed in house and the food was good and affordable! We ate cheese pizza both nights for dinner and the ice cream did not disappoint! The breakfast buffet was also a great option! Thanks again for the fun filled weekend!
Activities offered during our stay! They have papers available at the front desk!

Half the water park was broken. They did nothing to re-compensate the people who paid to get in and you can’t cancel once you get there. The pools that were open were then overcrowded because over half the waterpark is broke. They were adult adults and large children and the baby/toddler pool coming down the slides on top of them. The lifeguards worked hard to make sure people took turns and keep people safe, but when half the water parks down, everybody has to go somewhere
