The lazy river/play area of the pool had extremely cold water. It was so fun but hard to enjoy due to the water temp. Other than that everything was good considering the price.

The rooms need updating badly. Increase your room prices and waterpark wristband prices, and put that extra revenue towards remodeling. Our kids still loved the waterpark. The water was freezinggg cold in the lazy river/park area, but that didn’t stop the kids from having a blast. Hot tub and regular pool were perfect temps. Staff was all very friendly.

SDSU.

Enjoyed interaction checking in. Bed was comfortable. Room size was good. Breakfast - could use some protein. Very disappointed that the only creamer for coffee was hazelnut. You have to be able to have regular creamer or carnation powder. It is very dated hotel, but would stay there again.

Not bad. Not great.

The lady at the front desk was great as was the restaurant. But, the rooms were "clean". The hallways were in need of love. The entire place felt... "damp". Not a bad place, but not a great place. The building needs some serious TLC

Our room had mold in the corners by thw ceiling, the toilet rocked when you would sit down and stand up. When taking a shower the water came out of rhe faucet more then the shower head. The walls were dirty and the hallways smelled like Marijuana. The breakfast room was dirty and they were out of waffle mix and coffee and it took 30 mins to fill it after we asked for a refill. The lazy river was ice cold
