Overall I would say this is a 4/5 star.
Pros- beds were super comfortable, nice clean linens and rooms. Which were even furnished with a small kitchenette that had a single cup coffee pot, refrigerator and microwave!!!! AC in Room worked great.

Cons- the shower head didn't work as well and most the water was leaking from the faucet. The outside needs cleaned up as trash was blown everywhere, however it did not effect the inside. I would definitely stay here again!!!!! My kids really enjoyed the Waterpark as well and everything was In working order.

I will start by saying the staff was incredibly kind and helpful so 5 stars to them! But, the property was awful. The 1st room we were placed in was COVERED in mold, the bed, couch and air conditioner all had mold all over them. The room smelled awful, I assume due to mold. The elevator also smelled very badly. I am sure its hard to keep moisture out as it has a water park inside the hotel. I took pictures of the mold and the staff promptly got us into another room. That room was better but there was still a small amount of mold on the AC unit. Overall, the hotel and water park were not in great shape. I would not go back. The staff was kind and prompt.

A/C in the pool area did not work. Asked the staff about it and they said it would cost $500k and they were not going to fix it. Every door (including entry door) had been kicked in and none of them would stay shut. I had to push on the door to get it to deadbolt shut. We stayed 3 nights and housekeeping never came to our room for the duration of the stay. TV didn't work in the living area. Carpet was wet when we walked in the first night and was still wet the day we checked out.

Room was not the greatest in condition. The smoking area was just outside our window. We could smell everything that was being smoked out there. However, for this price it is worth it as you get to enjoy a nice pool without a resort fee. As for the internet, arcade, and restaurant. The restaurant is nice with plenty of options and has a bar. The arcade however is not very good and some of the candy was expired. Internet service was touch n go and would sometimes not have any connection. Overall on a budget this is a somewhat good deal but we will probably not stay here again.

This would have been a wonderful stay if the place was cleaner, and the pool says no life guards but yet the kiddos pool was closed because there were no lifeguards. Enough parents with their little could have over seen them while they swing. Our time swimming was cut short due to the two year old not being able to swim.

The staff was exceptionally courteous. The bed in the room was exceptionally comfortable.
However, I encountered several issues during my stay. The television was non-functional, and the bathroom lacked a shower curtain, as it was only equipped with a half-door. These shortcomings significantly diminished my overall experience.

I thought the property was disgusting. Stained carpet. Left over food by the pool left out all night. While eating in the restaurant a mouse ran by us into the kitchen. The floor in the shower in my room was so slick I had to put a towel down so i didnt fall. We were told by the manager of the restaurant that the entire hotel had a bad rodent problem. I cant believe Ramada has anything to.do with the place.

This was a hard one because the images look fantastic on Expedia. That however is where it ends.

From the moment we stepped foot in the building you could feel a level of moisture in the atmosphere. I'm not sure if the water park was an after thought but everything just felt not dry. The main area had huge fans running nonstop to circulate the humidity and every metal surface had a hint of rust on it. Both in the hallways and in the room.

There was absolutely no ventilation fans in our room/bathroom so there was nowhere for the moisture to go after taking showers. Speaking of, the pocket door did not fully close which meant you really did not get any privacy when using it. The shower while it looked nice, was poorly done and sprayed water all over the floor. So much so, we had to use two towels to sop it all up.

There was no landline phone in the room to call the front desk, which was odd.

Breakfast was bare bones and both days they were out of fork and the staff just shrugged it off when multiple guests asked for forks to eat their waffles.

Overall it just seemed like a place that over time up-keep has gotten harder and harder for the owners to maintain. Lots of things with \"Out Of Order\" signs and Landlord special paint jobs to cover poorly done repairs.

Don't let the Expedia reviews fool you. This is a 2 Star hotel at best

The pool staff allowed several small children in paddle jumpers go down the water slides but when my daughter went up in hers they told her she couldn't. And it's not bc there were different employees bc right after the same girl let 3 more in paddle jumpers go. The deepest pool they had was 4 ft and was closed until the day we left the other days they had children running and cannon balling dang near on other children. It was chaos. The bathroom pocket door was off the hinge so it didn't easily open and shut. I guess some guests decided to smoke weed outside my window every night so it smelled like skunk every night in our room. The arcade machines when the claw would grab the prize got stuck on the claws so my kids lost about 4 prizes. The bars stools were rusted so it rocked all over the place. The desk in my room was unusable i sat my purse on it and it shook so bad I was afraid to put anything on it or use it scared it would collapse. The rooms were nice and clean and organized but the maintenance was terrible. And the guests children were running up and around the entire hotel yelling and carrying on at all hours. The restaurant was ridiculous the prices high and no meals so had to buy the sides separate which costed my family 90.00 for 5 meals that were subpar, I spend that on a sushi restaurant at home and it's 5 star restaurant. We got Mac and cheese for one kid. 2 sandwiches with wedges each and 2 orders of boneless wings and one side of wedges so not 5 full meals.

We recently stayed here while visiting family in Iowa. Overall, it was a decent experience with both positives and negatives.

We specifically booked a poolside room, expecting easy access to the pool area. While our room technically overlooked the pool, it was located upstairs and around the corner, which wasn’t quite what we had in mind when booking “poolside.”

The indoor water park was definitely the highlight of our stay. My grandkids had an absolute blast, and it provided hours of entertainment. The room itself was clean, and the staff were very friendly, helpful, and pleasant to interact with throughout our visit.

The property could use some updating, particularly the carpet in the common areas, which is showing its age. Another disappointment was that the restaurant closed because it opened at 3:00 PM, making it difficult to grab lunch.

Overall, if you’re visiting with children and plan to spend time at the water park, it’s worth considering. The friendly staff and clean rooms were appreciated, but some facility updates and expanded dining hours would greatly improve the guest experience.

Our recent stay at the property was okay overall, but there were a few issues with the bathroom that made the experience less comfortable. The bathroom door does not lock, which reduces privacy. Additionally, the shower has no door, and whenever we used it, the water would flood the entire bathroom floor. Fixing these issues would greatly improve the stay for future guests.

Went to check in and there was no staff anywhere to be found. Had to sit in the lobby with a 4 year old and infant for over 20 mins. The lobby definitely smells like smoke too. My 4 year old did have a lot of fun at the waterpark though. There was towels just thrown everywhere in the pool area so it would be cool if they had someone to pick up often throughout the day.

It just started off bad as soon as we checked in our room was about 80-81° so we decided to go see a little bit of the town and go grab dinner somewhere came back to the room. It was still 81° very humid. Went down to the front desk to ask them for a room that AC worked in he said he would give me a different room and he would refund me the difference. So we had to swap rooms luckily that AC was working, but in the other room, they put us in the bathroom sink only had cold water no hot water. Still waiting on my refund from the room. I have called twice to see when I will receive it and they said I would get half back but when I called today they said they were not going to give me the refund. Just bad business

Please do not book a stay at this hotel. The property wasn't well kept. It was filthy, smelly and outdated. The staff was nice but very unprofessional. The water park area was disgusting, my kids didn't want to walk around barefoot. There was poop in the pirate ship and the pools looked as if the haven't been cleaned in awhile. There were stains on the carpet throughout the hotel and holes in the curtains in our room. To top it off, I had to check my family out at 1 am due to mice in our room. This trip literally brought me to tears. Please take your hard earned money elsewhere. You and your family deserve better.

We ended up having to move rooms due to a mouse situation and ultimately ended up leaving hours earlier in the middle of the night because of another mouse situation, trash everywhere. The hot tub was not even as warm as a lukewarm bath. The child's pirate ship water play area was absolute Ice cold water due to a broken heater pump. None of the lifeguards knew what they were doing. And were absolutely rude and terrible to my children. And nitpicked with other kids and allowed certain guests to break certain rules, while others had to follow them when I tried to address all of these problems, the manager and staff was completely rude to me to the point where they are fighting a refund with me right now. We had to leave in the middle of the night to make a 7 hour drive home. Because of the nonsense.

La verdad es que al principio tenia mis dudas, leí los review de otras personas y no hablan casi nada bueno del lugar, pero decidimos darle una oportunidad y vivir la experiencia mi familia y yo, recomendaría que la piscina de los mas pequeñitos tuviese el agua tibia, porque estaba demasiado fría, por lo demas todo bien

The water where the pirate ship was very cold. Booked the hotel for the fun water park but my kids didn’t play in that area due to it being pretty cold. Hotel staff we’re nice. Breakfast was good. My kids loved the arcade inside the hotel.

I read so many negative reviews about this place, I was hesitant to book a reservation. The truth is, this hotel is outdated and could use some TLC, but overall it served its purpose. My kids enjoyed the waterpark and the arcade! The staff we encountered were super friendly! Our TV wasn’t working and maintenance was there within minutes. My biggest recommendation would be for them to turn off all the lights in the waterpark when it’s closed, or add curtains to the windows. We had a poolside room and the lights were so bright, they lit up the entire room even with the blinds closed. We did not see any mice, bugs on towels or mold, as other reviews have suggested.

I booked this hotel for a fun overnight getaway with my boys, mainly because of the advertised waterpark, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The room itself was fine, but the waterpark closed at 5:00pm!!!!! with check-in at 4:00pm, that left very little time to actually enjoy it that evening. That information should be made much clearer when booking. They ended up leaving a tiny little pool open at the insistence of a different guest, but were rude about it.
The staff experience made things worse. Employees were confrontational and even bickering with each other in front of guests, which created a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Breakfast was also extremely meager and underwhelming.
Overall, what was supposed to be a fun family night away ended up being stressful and disappointing. I left wishing I had chosen somewhere else.

Before I checked in to my 1st floor room, I could hear this extremely loud noise coming from the \" maintenance room\" just down the hall. Could be heard throughout. Apparently has something to do with the pump, or filtration for the water slide at the indoor pool and playland. Anyway, was then given a room on the 2nd floor. The cold grab and go breakfast was minimal. Was told the night before they had waffles. Nope. They had instant oatmeal, but no microwave oven. Couldn't even find a wastebasket nearby, had to carry my trash to the lobby wastebasket. Convenient to the freeway. Got a good night's sleep, but can't recommend the place and wouldn't go back.

It was a good hotel for the price and all the amenities they had. Waterpark, tiki bar, restaurant. It was sad that some individuals didn’t take car of their kids and the kids pulled the fire alarm so was woken up around 2:30 in the morning and had to leave our rooms for about 45 minutes. All good place a lot of kids there.

It was dirty. We checked in Friday May 8th to a dirty room, and I mean dirty, nothing was clean. We go to switch rooms, and the room we were going to switch to had bed bugs so we didn’t switch. Come Saturday morning house keepers came over to clean our room. It’s clean, Fine no big deal. Then we get back to our room around 1am after going to a concert, not even an hour or so later some kids decide to pull the fire alarm waking everyone up at 230 in the morning so then we had to go up to the front lobby and sit there for over 2 hrs until the fire ppl could tell us to go back We didn’t get back to our room til 430am. I will never ever stay here again.

1st we get there to check in and got told we couldn't have the room we booked. And NO WATER PARK OPEN TO PLAY! We came for that reason only! Then the room they gave us ABSOLUTELY horrible! I have a 2yr old and the bathroom door didnt shut or lock at all. The carpet was torn up with bare flooring and carpet staples in our room and doorway. The floor felt like slime scum and bare walls with just nails in them. The beds (was supposed to have a king suite) didnt get it, had 2 queen spring mattress beds. Will never stay there again! The people that we meet there said the same thing.

Location was great. On a road with several eating options and also had on site pizza restaurant. However, the cleanliness was something to be desired. Literally clumps of hair floating through the pools. You could see things floating in all pools, we got out pretty quick and didnt re enter. Room was okay but the immobile shower door left everything damp and the floor mat soaked. Our TV didnt work and my teenager and I could smell weed clear as day so we werent comfortable complaining.

Front desk staff was very friendly and tried to fix issues. That said:

Waterpark was closed except 1 small pool and hot tub. Hot tub was luke warm at best and jets wouldn't turn on.

We booked 2 rooms, one smelled like stale smoke and the other had an overwhelming vomit smell. We asked for new rooms which were better but still extremely old and run down. Toilet was falling off the wall and barely flushed. Sliding door on bathroom wouldn't lock or stay shut. Rooms were FILTHY. TV didn't have actual channels (some sort of Tivo app), beds were so hard/firm we tried to lay on pillows to sleep, huge dents and holes in walls, carpet ripped up in multiple places, etc etc.

Continental breakfast is also a joke unless you would like corn flakes and a banana. Coffee was good though.

Positives: Jessi in Boss' pizza restaurant was AWESOME and the meal was outstanding. Arcade was super fun with an excellent mix of games and everything worked.

This property needs a major overhaul.

Receptionist did not know basic questions and false about what was down/not working for example the pool area. Receptionist also was not very well versed when talking about the the facilities breakfast. Instead of just being positive she said, “ look it is not that all it is cracked up to be.” Was very concerned when our room we booked we couldn’t get into but it wasn’t even ready once they got in. Also WiFi a basic amenity in 2026 did not work and tv didn’t also. Never been to a hotel where the tv didn’t work.

Room wasn’t super clean but was okay. We didn’t have hot water. One of the beds was suuuper wobbly and not centered on the bed stand. Tried to straighten it and it just wouldn’t. Random pieces of metal sticking out of the bed frame. Toilet paper holder was missing. Our room door wouldn’t shut or open properly. Asked about the gym- was told all batteries in the machines were dead so none of them worked. Saw a couple of mice in the rooms. Told staff apparently it’s an Ongoing issue. When we approached staff about the other issues they said there was nothing they could do cuz it was a sold out weekend. But they were aware.

The only good thing about our stay was that the bed was comfortable and my daughter liked the arcade. Their \"continental breakfast\" consisted of waffles, cereal, yogurt, and on one of the 2 days we stayed, there were muffins as well. There was no phone in the room, however, when we used our cell phone to call the front desk to request light bulbs, we were immediately placed on hold anyway. The pool was too crowded to swim in, because anyone can pay to swim in it, instead of just being reserved for hotel guests. And, the pool is only open until 9. The bathroom door in our room didn’t lock, and there was no switch for the exhaust fan. The diverter for the shower was hooked up wrong, so the hot water was cold and cold was hot. There was trash on the floor in the hallways. They appear to have spent all of the money on the pool, and minimal on the actual hotel. Disappointing to say the least.
