The hotel room was small but good. We have an electric vehicle that was a little difficult to charge with only 3 usable charging stations downtown. Kids loved the new waterpark but bathrooms in Waterpark were not clean at all.

Fantastic place for family with children and or family get-togethers. Being Bavarian by birth I attest that this place as well as the town is as authentic as one can recreate a small Bavarian town in another country without being kitschy. Will be back!

This hotelnis not ready to open to the public. They are way under staffed. They should have only opened the waterpark to perks members/overnight stays, and held off day pass access till they wete staffed up. Took over 2 hours to get the dedicated server f9r the reserved table we paid for. Then took over an hour to get our food. We were barely at half capacity by the looks of things and they were still struggling . Should have went to Great Wolf or Kalahari.

Bed are not comfortable

The resort is very nice. However for the amount of money they are bringing in, the beds and pillows could be more comfortable. They were like sleeping on rocks. Very uncomfortable. The rooms also need updated.

Too expensive

Overall it was an enjoyable stay. The waterpark expansion was awesome. The hotel rooms are old and beds werent the most comfy and the bath tub didnt drain fast enough and water never really got hot enough. For 1,500 for 2 rooms for 2 nights it wasnt worth the money.
