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

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.
