Great bang for your buck. It was clean, quiet and the bar had great drinks and food. It takes 5 minutes to walk to all of the restaurants in town. I'd definitely book there again!
Wait time to check in was over an hour and I was nearly late to the polar express ride with my family.

Very slow at check in counter. I think one of the employees was new and needed a lot of assistance.
I also was dissappointed that the hot chocolate on the polar express was cold. Thats a lot of money to spend for a family of 4 to get cold hot chocolate. Almost everyone sitting around us either committed on it or i could tell from the expression on their face.
The link I was sent opened in Safari. A little box on the left of the screen was not visible and I did not know it had to be checked to complete the first page of check in. Coped the link and opened in Chrome and saw what the problem was and able to fix it in Safari. Large crowd at the front desk. With plenty of staff on hand it only took a few minutes to get me key cards! Great staff and they answered all my questions! Polar Express train is running so lots of guests on the property. Great place for Christmas!
Property was great and staff was awesome. Water in the shower was sometimes luke warm and the beds were a little stiff but overall it was a great place to stay and kids loved it. Decorations all around looked amazing and magical. We would stay again ☺️
We came for the Polar Express Train Experience. We had decided at the last minute to stay at the hotel. Glad we did as it was easy for getting ready for the train and walking around afterwards.
The worst part is I would NOT recommend the dinner at Fred Harvey. It was TERRIBLE!! We did get refunded. However this restaurant is NOT set up for the number of people they’re doing for the Polar Express. We bought the food tickets in September but they were allowing walk-ins. When we came in at 7:40pm they were out of most food. Salad bar was empty of food and plates. There were two lines for hot food. 1 line had 1 guy making individual pasta orders! My husband stood in line for 30 minutes for pasta. Gave up. Went back when the line went down. Waited 20 minutes again. Then cook said he had to leave for 5 minutes to wash pans. This is NOT how you serve the masses. The other hot food was gross. This was by far the worst restaurant experience we’ve had at a place. If you’re serving kids - most like pasta - you don’t have one person making individual pasta dishes!!! You make mass quantities of spaghetti. You’ve been doing this for years but it felt like this was the first weekend the restaurant was open. I don’t think Fred Harvey would have approved. Everything else about the stay was great.
