We were very thankful to stay at this hotel. The pool looked amazing but we arrived too late and had to leave too early to swim. The staff was excellent, above excellent! The rooms were clean. The rooms however were pretty outdated and kind of sketchy on the construction of it. But we were tired and slept well. Also there were no key entries on the building doors, made me feel unsafe as to who could come into the hotel. Appreciate the big room that accommodated 6 of us. Thank you.

Convenient, inexpensive adequate hotel

Stayed one night before a campus visit the next day. The hotel is clean and the front desk staff was friendly. The indoor water park area is nice for families with kids. The hotel itself is showing its age and could use some updating, but nothing was uncomfortable or unusable, just worn. The breakfast was adequate but was very carb-heavy, the only hot item offered was waffles. Some protein or fruit would have been welcome.

The rooms need updating badly. Increase your room prices and waterpark wristband prices, and put that extra revenue towards remodeling. Our kids still loved the waterpark. The water was freezinggg cold in the lazy river/park area, but that didn’t stop the kids from having a blast. Hot tub and regular pool were perfect temps. Staff was all very friendly.

Not bad. Not great.

The lady at the front desk was great as was the restaurant. But, the rooms were "clean". The hallways were in need of love. The entire place felt... "damp". Not a bad place, but not a great place. The building needs some serious TLC
