Staff was so polite the room and the entire facility was super clean which was an extra plus. The waterpark wasn’t over crowded there were water slides for all ages. The parents enjoyed the bar inside the waterpark the Frosé was to die for. Overall a great experience for a great price and we will definitely be back!

The room was in great condition, however the noise in the hallways and above us was very loud and kept our children up. The walls are very thin and i think a noise ordinance should be in place seeing as how it is a kid friendly place.

Absurd Parking Fee

Our stay was wonderful, the biggest downfall was having to pay extra for parking. That seems quite absurd with the cost of everything else.
