Our stay was overall a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient. We especially appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere. However, one major disappointment was that the big water slide and hot tub were out of service during our stay. These amenities were a significant reason we chose this hotel. Despite this setback, we enjoyed the other facilities and had a nice time. If these features are fixed and consistently maintained, this hotel could easily be a top choice for families.

The hotel was nice and fairly clean. We stayed Monday to Tuesday and didn’t realize half the things weren’t open those days. I looked back when we check in and saw no mention of that nor was anything listed in the webpage. The stay was still fun but disappointing we couldn’t experience it all and had no idea about the closure.

Don’t go here.
Hottub not working. Tube slide not working. Pool open to public Saturday and Sunday. Main waterslides and activity center closed Monday and Tuesday. When it’s open to just hotel guests Monday and Tuesday. Complete joke. Drove 7 hrs one way to enjoy this dump of a place. Never again.

We have always wanted to stay at this hotel and were very disapointed that the main waterslide was not in working condition. That the hottub was not heating so NOT working. There was plumbing issues in our room. Not fun getting a 3:30am wake up as the toilet is gurgling. Very disappointed with our stay.

Disappointing, don’t bother
We were excited to stay here for the attached Waterpark. I regretted my decision as soon as we arrived into our room. The room was 305 with a view looking into the side of the Waterpark, not pretty but not life altering. However, the room was freezing but only put out cold air. We called the front desk and they delivered a heater which helped thank goodness. Until then the kids were sitting freezing in the cold room just coming back from swimming, we even gave them a hot bath to warm them up. Even me in my jeans and sweater found it cold and I usually like hotel rooms to be on the chilly side. The toilet barely flushed and ran constantly, we didn’t call about that, we lived with it since we were only here for the night. However then we were woken up by maintenance first thing in the morning to have it fixed. Not sure why they would bother guests and just take the room out of rotation and fix it when we check out? Lastly the Waterpark was nice but the only adult slide was broken and the hot tub wasn’t working. Lastly although there are food options on site which I thought would be convenient the one we tried closed at 10 for food and didn’t deliver. We ended up having to leave the pool early to go order our food and stand there with cold, wet children to get our food. I would not stay here and probably wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. I would save my money and stay across the street. The room was very pricey and wasn’t worth at all for what you got.

I decided to surprise my 8 year old daughter with a New Year’s Getaway and this is where we went. It’s the perfect place to relax, eat, sleep and entertain one’s children. We never left the property because everything we needed was right there. We will be returning soon.

Staff was friendly, rooms were decent but the main attraction of the pool/waterpark was awful! You pay extra to stay in a hotel that doesn’t offer continental breakfast, but is supposed to have a fantastic water park and then come to find out that you now have to pay an extra $10USD per person to use the water slides and Then the hot tub that’s included in the hotel fees is lukewarm, at best. The bathroom and change rooms were DISGUSTING. I highly doubt we’d cons back, which is too bad because it used to be one of our favourite road trips.

The hotel was is very big with many floors. During my stay i had my jacuzzi in my room and there was a leak under it or something so the floor was soaked. I told the people at the desk and asked for towels and that was it. It seemed like they knew about it already because they didn't seem shocked. And the hot tub in the pool yard was available but it was as warm as the pool so that was disappointing.

Hotel itself is clean and your average hotel room wise. If you request rooms together you have to call the hotel, do not do via the hotels app. It is not the hotel and they don’t see any messages you send. The hot tub heater was broken but being fixed. The small kids area that is half the water park is freezing temps. Most kids ended up with a rash from the pool, everyone’s skin felt quite raw. Lazy river is fun, big water slide too! Arcade is good. Service for breakfast at Aaltos is awful, however the lady could be burnt out as she was the only really. Overall kids had fun, parents survived!
