Room was awesome - loved the set-up with the front "living room" style and a back bedroom.
Only thing I didn't love was the waterpark was very dark - very little lighting beyond the natural light coming in thru windows.
But overall awesome.
I reserved a room for my sister to stay on Christmas Eve. The front desk and cleaning staff were very courteous and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, per my sister.
Great water park for kids. Rooms were remodeled surface-level but felt a bit grubby (rust, water stains, stained grout). We would come back, yes, but the images online made the rooms look totally refreshed when they were only partially lipsticked.
The staff was very friendly when we checked in and when we checked out. The rooms were clean. The beds were uncomfortable. The morning staff told us we could have breakfast to go. Otherwise, overall everything was good.
I love the improvements made to the rooms. These were a lot more modern. The staff was very accommodating to us (front desk to the cleaning service). We will definitely be back as the kids had a blast!
We were there over Christmas. I think a couple of things are confusing if you haven't stayed here before. The waterpark is ONLY open Friday-Sunday. The breakfast is free when the waterpark is closed, but there is a cost when it is open. The breakfast was fresh and tasty, but the bar/restaurant was closed while we were there. We had to change rooms because rambunctious children in the room above us sounded like they were jumping around. The floors are not carpeted, so it was loud. We got an upgrade to the top floor and we very much enjoyed our stay. We would come back again!

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Cleanliness was an issue, called the front desk and staff remedied it promptly. There were other small things like the trash can in the bathroom had stains on it. Couldn’t bring pool towels to room so hallways were wet. Shower water temp was inconsistent. Husband said beds are more comfortable than average. Overall we might stay again if there’s a deal but it didn’t give that luxurious hotel feel.
The water park was great and that was is. The ice melt wasnt pet friendly for my service dog. My mattress was completely sliced open on the side. For how much paid for a suit the matress being destroyed and painful is completely ridiculous. Can tell since the sheet didnt even cover it that it was seen by multiple hotel staff long before my stay in that room. The couch was filthy with stains. If it wasnt for the water park I wouldve left entirely.
I had a suit the room was nice found some trash under the bed left behind from the previous guest. House keeping could have did a better job with that. The room a had a little smell but not bad. Other them that the hotel waterpark staff and stay was amazing. My family and I will be back in the future
Hotel was clean. Room was spacious. Check in was easy. We stayed in another hotel owned by company the previous night and it was night and day difference. Pool is only open on weekends.
