It was average.

Game room was 5 dollars per person which seems excessive for me and my kids when nobody else was even there. The waffle batter was empty and couldn’t find anyone to help fill it. Ended up going elsewhere for breakfast. Sign by box said to turn in key and take a travel bag but there were no travel bags.
