Okay
The hotel was ok. Very bland/sterile in the hallways, needed artwork on the walls or something. Workers were extremely friendly. Water park is geared towards younger kids, but was nice.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The rooms were very neat and tidy. The pool area was fantastic! The halls looked a little beat up from wear, but we were very pleased with the overall experience!

This is our 3rd summer visiting this hotel! We come annually for a weekend getaway with the grandparents. It is our absolute favorite! The rooms are beautiful, the arcade is a blast and we left with lots of goodies from the different claw games! The continental breakfast is delicious, from pancakes to a yogurt parfait bar and lots and lots more! The highlight is of course the water park, it truly has something for everyone! From the little swim zone for the kiddos to big water slides for those on the adventurous side to the lazy river and indoor/outdoor hot tub for those that just want to relax. There's a snack bar in the pool area as well. It's also located RIGHT off 371 by everything you could ever need! Can't wait for last summer already!

Amazing family waterpark!
This waterpark was perfect for my 7 year old who is still not a super swimmer! She was able to enjoy it without a life jacket as she could touch everywhere. My 11 niece also had a blast!!! Hotel was super clean and staff was great too! Highly recommend for a family trip of all ages! Smaller kids play section was great for little ones and up!

We left a valuable item in our room accidentally and the staff called to notify us and mailed it to our home. They went above and beyond. The room was nice, bed comfortable and quieter than we expected.

We really like the convenient location of the property near the Brainerd/Baxter area. There are lots of good breakfast food options. My only suggestion for the breakfast area would be to add drinking water. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. We didn't get time to use the waterpark this time around, but we have used it before and we really like it.
