The staff was great and my room was super clean! Much like all hotels I have stayed at lately,but could use some touch up paint here and there but my experience was amazing! I slept so well in the Tropical Dome even with kids playing till 10 or 11 at night. Affordable price for a 5 day stay to visit Dad for Father's Day! I am hoping I get to retuen here next year!

Family trip - Aug 2024

I loved this hotel. It's older and showing her age here and there but it was clean. The staff were as nice and friendly as could be. We were in the western suite. The kids were over the moon about the bunk beds. Honestly, the king bed in the room was not the most comfortable. The pool area was really pretty. I want to stay there again and try out some other themed rooms.
