2/10 Poor

Horrible place to stay. Never again. Room smells horribe ,musty , moldy , trying to sleep amd kids/tenagers yelling , screaming , running in the halls til 3am. No one answered their phones for help. Smelld liked pot in the hallways. People in the next room with a connecting door were sooooooloud i knew everything about them .and they swore like sailors. This was the worst experience ive EVER had at a hotel.

Unimpressed

Needs updates. Bathroom door won't stay closed. Door frames are rusty. Desk chair was broken. Only had towels and washclothes for two people to last three days and had four people in room. Pool area only open for weekends and wasn't notified until check in. No towels in pool area to dry off.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great time. Super affordable. It was a little worn down, but to be expected in a water park-type stay. We had a great time, and the staff was wonderful.

Staff was too sleepy and property was extremely dirty

8/10 Very good

The room we checked in to had a toilet that constantly ran. The bathroom pocket door was wedged open. The front desk was very accommodating to get us moved to a new room

Disappointing

This place has gone down hill over the years. Took my girls during the week and only on one pool was open which was disappointing. There is a free breakfast which was granola bars and danishes from Walmart. It use to be a warm breakfast. It’s probably better on the weekends.
Nathanael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was expecting more pool area. Very crowded but my 4 year old had fun.
Staci, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room was cold 1/3 of the pools working and the hot tubs was not hot. Breakfast was cereal an granola bars on sticky tables but staff are very polite an our room was clean
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Kids had a great time swimming . The check on was awful with a huge line. Could’ve been taken care of through email before arriving, could have also let people know they needed a license plate.
Renee, 1-night trip

Good place to stay if you have kids

The pool was fun for my son and well monitored. The staff was friendly. Could definitely use some amenity updates in the rooms.

William, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place was so dirty! It was absolutely disgusting!
Katelin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice room, uncaring morning staff.

The water park is only staffed/open on Friday and Saturday and that is not disclosed until you arrive. The room did not have a bathtub for the kids - only a shower with a shower head that sprayed water all over the floor. There was a glass wall that did not keep the bathroom from being utterly flooded. In the morning the breakfast attendant was nowhere to be found for over 30 minutes. The waffle batter dispenser was broken and the cereal dispenser was broken. When we told the front desk about the issues the desk person said “that’s not my department” and went back to playing with his phone.
Heather, 1-night trip

I hope you like to wait

Check in was a long wait. There wasn’t any sheets or blankets for the pull out sofa bed. We had to wait some time to receive some There weren’t any breakfast items except a couple boxes of cereal a gallon of milk and juice! The room was comfortable and clean. We will not stay again.
