Was transferred to Fun City Hotel without warning due to having a child with me. I booked this room with 1 adult and 1 child. I was never informed that I could not have a child at this hotel. Luckily Fun City had a room available or I would have had no room for the night. I am also expecting a refund for the difference in rates.

Perfect for a spa girl’s trip and weekend getaway! The KS spa staff were professional, friendly, accommodating and amazing! Each of us received a facial and massage and we can’t say enough about the awesome experience! Hotel staff were just as wonderful! Can’t wait to return!
