Summer vacation

We had a very pleasant stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The kids loved the waterpark..so did we. The rooms were clean, but the mattress was a little soft for my liking. We liked the location. Definitely will be back!!

Room was great, but make sure you're okay with plenty of kids around due to water park and the fact their breakfast is not much due to limited morning staff, only hot food is toast and pancakes. Other than that very comfy and enjoyed stay.
