Room was clean and staff was helpful and friendly. It was fairly loud given there were a number of middle to high school sports teams there but that isn't unexpected for a hotel with a waterpark, just be aware when you book! Breakfast was good.

The waterpark/pool hours were not friendly. Check in is at 3. The pool is closed from 3-4. But on Sunday the pool closes at 8pm and when you have 3 kids and you came for 1 night to enjoy the Waterpark you would think the pool is open longer. Then the room door would shut unless you really pulled on the handle, when you leave the room you hear the door click we thought it latched but you could push the door open, no key card required. I did bring this up to the front desk. But just check your doors. Otherwise our stay was pleasant good breakfast. Just disappointed in the pool hours in the summer.

Cute place if you want a quick getaway…however not the cleanest place. Towels in our room still had stains, ants in our room, and the pool towels were just old. They didn’t fold any of the pool towels (appearance goes a long way), so it was just a bunch of towels in a bin that was labeled “clean towels.” Who knows?!

Water temp was amazing and felt like you were always in a hot tub. The issue is that we booked our stay for my kids spring break and they shut down the water slides for those days. All they had was the red slide, play area (not even fully running), a semi hot tup with no bubbles, and the lazy river. They even shut down the grill.

The pool staff were incompetent. 1 staff member was sleeping on duty. Guests had to forcibly take tubes from each other to make them give them up due to lack of availability & poor \"traffic control\" on slides. Otherwise, the hotel staff was friendly & hotel was clean. Breakfast ran out of some items midway through, but it was adequate considering it was complimentary.

My family comes multiple times a year for the waterpark. Since last visit we have noticed that the staff is much less friendly than before. I'm not sure what the dynamic is behind the scenes, but the energy of the front desk and cleaning staff was depressing. We were also dissapointed that we were shorted waterpark passes at check in (no problem previous stays in same suite), concerned that the waterpark life guard staff was constantly on their phones or gossiping with each other and seemed unhappy to be there, that the bar and grill did not sell food as advertised and that wp staff was rude about families using delivery services to feed their families. We plan in advance and the lack of food options was a big inconvenience and was expensive to figure out a plan through another restaurant offsite. It was offputting to have a staff member bark at people about food when they didnt have any options for families. Also carpet in room and hallways are very old, stained and gross. The bathrooms in the water park are also pretty rough and too small for the amount of people going. The lifeguards were yelling for people to get out at 3pm but the lines for shower and bathroom took forever.

The room was decent. We had a birthday party pmaneed at the waterpark and they closed the park down from 3 until 4 for cleaning which was right when we had people planned to come to my daughters party. The lady who told us to leave was the most unprofessional and horrible lady ive ever met . She was incredibly rude. The waterpak is run dowm none of the fountains work amd the bar and food in the waterpark was only open from 4pm u til 7pm . We used to love this hotal and waterparkand would come here ebery year . but the waterpark staff was horrible amd it was very expensive i will never come back

I was supposed to have a room with 4 bunk beds and a queen. That is exactly what I booked for online. When we got to the room, there was only 2 bunk beds and one queen. I went to the front desk and asked why and what happened and they said that because I booked through Expedia the room size isn’t guaranteed but I literally selected the room 4 bunk beds and a queen. It was very frustrating and inconvenient and they said that there wasn’t anything they could do.

My family loves this hotel and water park! This was our second year celebrating my daughter’s birthday here, and her older sister wants to stay here for her next birthday too. I love the water park area- it’s big enough to keep us all busy, but small enough to be able to locate all the kids fairly easily. The water and room temperature are perfect too!

We stayed Friday- Sunday and the area of the hotel was very nice. At check in we were given keys to our room and as we opened the door there were already guests in the room and we felt terrible walking in on them. We then went to get new keys and got to our new room. We were fine with our new room. We then realized late Saturday night there was a leak coming from our toilet in our bathroom.. we alerted front desk as we checked out. We had a few issues, but the waterpark was a blast for the kiddo and we also enjoyed the breakfast.

Bring earplugs

Quick getaway with our 9 year old son. Check-in was great, very happy helpful attendant. Water park was great. The room on the other hand was a hug disappointment. There were two men in a room next to us, we heard every bit of their conversation and they talked until after midnight. Bed was uncomfortable. The room next to us had a morning alarm on their phone and it literally woke us up at 5:45! Room was spacious for the 3 of us however I got less than 3 hours sleep due to the rooms not being sound proof enough.

Family-oriented, water park was great for kiddos up to about teens. We had 4 grandchildren with us, ages 6-10, they had a blast, could always see where they were, it was safe, and even fun for the parents and grandparents. ;-)

Was a great stay. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Breakfast selection was okay.

We make a weekend trip here every here for the water park. This year, there were no hockey teams staying here which was great. The indoor air temp in the water park was cold one of the days and the water temp in the kids area was quite cold also. Kind of killed the fun. The kids got chlorine rashes from swimming. The bar/food area is always nice for a quick lunch.

All in all, was a nice stay. Pretty fair priced. Will stay again. 4/5 stars.

Pros -
- The front desk and breakfast area staff were great! Super friendly and accommodating. - Breakfast had a ton of options and loved the fresh omelets and the biscuits and gravy
- We enjoyed the adult hot tub and tube slide - Our hotel room was mostly clean minus the extra sheets that had wine stains

Cons -
- The pullout sofa bed was pretty much unusable even though it was noted as a usable sleeping space. The bed was broken. The bedding to put on it was stained with what looked to be wine.
- Our room only had one waste bin that was in the bathroom to use for a family of 6
- There were not enough tubes for the number of people so we had to often wait, especially with people continuing to use them vs. sharing
- The lifeguards were often in groups and chatting and not paying attention
- There were no pool towels to use even though there was still an hour before closing the pool
- The Bar & Grill was not open the entire time we were there and there weren’t any hours posted for us to know when it was open.

It was a little disappointing that the pools close at 8pm on Sunday. Everything else was amazing!

Check in was fast and efficient. Staff were friendly. The only problem was stuff shutting down earlier than anticipated. Waterpark is closed from 3-4 for safety check which is understandable and appreciated but slide was closed at 2:30. Happy hour at the bar from 5-7 but they closed at 6:45 and stopped taking food orders at 6. Signs were not very visible to have known when to order before they closed. Arcade closes with the pool which was a bummer for everything to shut all at one since we had just checked in at 3. Overall would stay again but would request better signage for all the closures and times.

I wish they would make changes

This hotel could be amazing. Well set-up hotel in a nice location. Waterpark is fantastic, they have laser tag, arcade, etc. The problem is the property is filthy, room and bedding smell like stale beer, and the staff couldn’t care less about anything. I really hope they make changes and take better care of the property. Also, apparently they no longer give hotel guests discounts on laser tag, so it was $45 for 10 minutes for 4 people.
