The good and the bad

The hotel has plus and minus ..Lots to offer for the kids but also comes with steep pricing for all activities except the waterpark which is included with ur stay.The room we stayed in was far from clean I had to call front desk to have them send housekeeping up the bathroom was the worse the shower was full of hair and was dirty.The room has no carpet so you could see the dirt from the floor on my white socks, dead bugs in window sills, water damage on ceiling.The room has no dressers so no where to unpack ur belongings.The Staff are very friendly and buffet breakfast was good but also a bit pricy.The vent was filthy and the air sucks.if ur tired and want to rest this place is loud all night doors slamming, kids crying half night, people running down hallways all night could not sleep

The room was not clean. The beds were small. The shower water pressure was very low. The staff was not very “friendly “. We went to the breakfast buffet for breakfast! I dropped my napkin and asked for another. The clerk said I can’t give you one. You can go over to Starbucks and get one! Overall disappointed and won’t go back. The watepark was nice.

Half the water slides were not open multiple days in a row … due to “ short staffed” . Rooms were specious but blankets were very thin. Got floor level could hear others in the middle of the night getting into fight . Not sound proof for a 8 year old .

A lot of things were closed due to water testing and for other reasons. It’s not that big to start with so when things close it makes ir more crowded in other areas

There was stuff under the beds on the floor. There were dust bunnies all over in the bathroom. The floor needed to be swept. There was gum stuck to the side of the nightstand. The curtain was hanging on one end as it was broken.
