Double charged for parking. When I only stayed one night. Wasn't even on the property for 24 hrs. Called to get refund. They just gave me a case number. There isn't much there for the big kids. A couple slides that's it. Everything is extra money. Not worth the cost for staying there. There wasn't even a Jacuzzi for the adults in the waterpark

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff had less than adequate customer service. We requested an iron twice and never got it. A family member who lived near came and brought us one.

Mattresse sofa is garbage
Cushions are all big size kids cant use them . Also soon we leave unknown charges been added . Never reserve through online again
Our family has been here many times since open but notes that it is not as clean as it used to be and things have fallen. Location could be cleaner and needs to be upgraded. Rooms were good and clean though.
