Great: Water park Arcade Kids activities Food on site Would need some improvements: staff need to know layout of facility so that they can assist with customers questions. Magic quest need more staff coverage. One guy helping everyone out and unable to answer questions since he’s swamped is not ok. Room not sound proof, so you can literally hear people talking and feel door closing over and over.

The parking lot is very dark at night. Too dark. I was in a two bedroom suite. It would have been nice to have some paper towels. Maybe some cups and silver ware in the kitchen area. The stairs in the water park need to be cleaned. The garbage cans were over flowing in the restaurant area in the afternoon and first thing in the morning.
