Good Stay but not exactly what was expected.

Our family enjoyed our 1 week stay in two of the suites. I had requested adjoining suites but was told they were not available at check-in. Hotel is conveniently located to visit family in the area and we also enjoyed the water park over the weekend. There is a nearby shopping and dining options. Beds were comfortable, but expected more of a kitchenette in the suites with a table to eat at. Had to go to the front desk for information multiple times. There was no information provided at check-in, and nothing in the rooms regarding the hotel, location of amenities (ice machines, gym, 2nd floor outdoor patio), nor anything about schedule for the complementary breakfast (only available on certain days) and waterpark (limited hours/days). Would also suggest the hotel provide information on nearby conveniences.

Our suite was definitely not as advertised or what we paid for; two dorm fridges stacked on top of each other, toilet broke, lost hot water, beds pretty hard, and the internet had to be restarted each night around 10pm. However, staff were friendly and responsive. They fixed what broke and moved a bigger fridge in. They comped breakfast as we prepaid and they could not take money off. The waterpark is always fun.

Kids loved the pool! I wish they had more time, but I had received an email saying the pool was not open so we didn’t hurry to the hotel. When we did arrive they only had 30 minutes left and the pool was in fact open. I suggest calling the hotel directly to check as the email may be incorrect. Beds were a little hard, but the rooms were very spacious.

It's decent. I've been here before and on the weekend so I was surprised that I had to pay for the buffet. If I had known that I would have gone somewhere better. The food was NOT worth the price. The beds were okay there is DEFINITELY room for improvement on how comfortable the beds are but hey the pillows try to make up for it. You get access to the water park but a huge disappointment that they close early on Sundays...4pm. there's no other pool area either for this hotel so if you wanted to go for a late dip or hot tub you're SOL at this hotel because they don't have a separate pool area. The ice machine was missing on the 4th floor were were staying on, so had to go to a different floor. Another inconvenience was the fact that the handicap button wasn't working. You can push but literally nothing happens and will not stay open for you if you're handicap or have a big haul you're trying to push through. They could also have better shampoo l, conditioner, soap options.
