I had a two bed room unit. It was very nice, it was a handicap room so this person I was traveling with was handicap. They have an on-site gift shop and mini grocery store. And they have beautiful decorations, a fall and Christmas time theme already in the lobby. This hotel is about a 15 minute drive from the entrance of the park, which is very nice. The only reason why I’m giving it a four star rating is because of the price of the dinner. I bought a fettuccine chicken Alfredo pasta, which cost me $27. And it wasn’t a lot of pasta. Now the breakfast buffet, is well worth the price. Delicious food, and refillable drinks.

This cozy place has a beautiful setting along a river. I would give 5 stars except that we didn't have hot water for the first two days. We talked to the front desk and it still took another day for the water to be hot. Perhaps the boiler took a while to warm up? But other than that great place with a nice restaurant.

The room and view was nice. Got a call one night just before 9 pm while we were having a relaxing evening. The desk clerk accused us of smoking on the balcony. We are not smokers. I have been free from cigarettes for over 10 years. Needless to say it soured the evening.

It had more than what we expected. So many fun things for the kids to do on site. The kitchenette was very convenient and was stocked with many useful kitchen items. We truly enjoyed our stay and have recommended it to our friends.
