It was a very nice stay for the family! Rooms were clean and comfortable. Main area of hotel was well kept. The waterpark was worth the price as well, not overly expensive. The only thing is for the pool to be a little warmer. It was fairly chill. Otherwise great stay!

We liked the rustic/cabin like atmosphere. The room was nice and the water park was great for the kids. Although the food was good at the restaurant, the service was extremely slow. Our grandkids had their meals and had finished before my wife and I even received our meals. The hotel could probably benefit with some upgrades, maybe paint and new linnen and matresses also.

For the price property was nice. Very clean, rooms were spacious and like the smaller water park. It is dated and needs some refreshing. The included breakfast was not worth it, but they rarely are.
