Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was great and clean. Being able to water straight down the hall from the waterpark to our room made it very convenient when wanting to take a break for a little bit to snack.
Kids absolutely enjoyed it, I wished they would have given us better direction to where our room was located but overall we had a great experience. Will continue to come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We had a great time, unfortunately I’m quite positive there were bed bugs in our room; evidenced by seeing one single bug while there and getting several bites.

Wonderful indoor waterpark. So many fun slides for all ages adults included. The rooms in the main lodge were def a little outdated but overall it was a blast. A+ for the lifeguards being on top of their training game.
