Outdated and dirty linen
The room was outdated and dirty. The blankets on the bed were stained with what looked like red Cheetos and I didn’t see it until after I slept because it was on the inside of the blanket! The waterpark is not great for older kids.

Everything was great except the room could’ve been slightly cleaner and the beds aren’t the most comfortable but any means. But overall we as a family loved our stay.

This is a great place for family’s with young ones not too many water slides for adults and no lazy River sadly but still a good place to stay and fun arcades! The food is pretty pricey but a lot of cheap food options near by.

The room had a chair that made out to a bed. It was dirty on the floor around it. The mattress was terrible. There was trash on the floor in the elevator and around a trash can in the lobby. No coffee pot in the room and none offered unless you paid their $20 breakfast fee. This hotel is quite pricey. And should have been cleaner.

Noticed a lack of maintenance, from exterior damage to the building (exterior of the indoor water park) to trash all over flower gardens, hallways etc and also the pillows that are supplied with the rooms are terrible.

The waterpark was nice. However, i found two weird looking bugs in my room, yellow stuff all over the bottom of the shower curtain. When you walk into the room it smells like mildew from water.

We were over charged $204. Was told that it was a system error and the charge will fall off in 7 to 10 days where there was no reason to charge me since everything was paid in full. Then they had no real reason why they charged me.

Overrated
I do not not normally write reviews but felt the need for this hotel. I wanted to let parents know this place is overrated and overpriced. Thin pillows, uncomfortable mattresses, no drawers to put your clothes in and the food was meh. For the price, stay elsewhere.

Convenient location
Checkin was super smooth . Staff was above and beyond . The big downside was it was advertised as 24 hour gym access which was a high priority on my list an found out after checkin in that their manager shut it down till 7 am as what we were told due to kids causing trouble . Was told by staff that they never updated the web description of amenities bout it .but other than that was ok so far . Had to connect to their WiFi cellular was bad connection . Minimal toiletries in room , def geared to younger children . Not to much yet as we seen for older children .the bonus was checkout beinu at 11 am a was allowed to use waterpark after checkout till 8 pm . Inside closed at 8 an outside at 9 . Overall : give it a 8/ 10 based on if it was a younger family stay but for us with a older teenager family 4/10 ( to be determined could rank higher after checkout an evaluate waterpark area better . ) the noise level : not very good , walls were not sound proficient . Family next door was really loud an it was disruptive for our visit . They ran tv all night an could hear it blasting through . But for staff rating : excellent 10/10 !! Very helpful above and beyond . Location : 10/10 . Access: only entry at front so room was clear at other end of building for that 3/10 . No other access points from parking lot with key card . For a younger ( child ) family highly recommend ! But if ur looking for ( teen ) waterpark at this entry of eval ( to early to eval ) would choose elsewhere .

Nice facility- but expensive for what you get. We’ve pool not working and $16 for buffet breakfast is a bit much. No coffee makers in the room.
