"Housekeeping wasn't the best. However, front desk went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. We will certainly return and recommend Gladdens to anyone!"
"Loved the adult only hours for the pool area, breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety. Bed was comfortable and our room was spacious, clean and no major issues. Only thing I have to suggest is a bell/pager for the front desk!

"Staff were all friendly, the waterpark was awesome and clean, i love that they have an arcade and plenty of breakfast options. The room was clean and cozy and well stocked. The only complaint I have is the long lines for the 1 small elevator in the lobby. I had a stroller so i couldnt just squeeze in with other. All of the other guests i met were also very kind. "
"The villa we stayed in was lovely and had the right amount of dishes and furniture. The villa could use a number on the door or garage to make it easier to find and get into. "
