Fun but they oversold double queen rooms

They oversold on double queen beds, so they switched me to a king with a pull out bed. The pull out bed was a twin size and in terrible condition. We had four of us, and it wasn’t going to work. The staff gave us an extra room which was nice but it was me and my 3 kids. So two of my kids were in a separate room. The water park closed early for lightning in the area but we never saw any lightning. It was fun but wished I could have had the room I paid for.
