10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here as a family and since we had invited one of my daughters friends, we got separate rooms. One room for the girls and the other for the boys. The room was very clean, parking was easily accessible but the spacing might need some work. On both days, the cars next to us on each side was very close. I felt like you had to be a toothpick to squeeze in and we had children with us. We didn't bother eating breakfast here, so no comment on that portion. This is the best place to stay if you're visiting six flags."
