Rooms in the 5000's are above the waterpark, so the hallways and rooms are humid, but the a/c works nice in the room, and the mattresses looked new and felt good to sleep on. I had to reboot the cable box, and fully plug in the HDMI cord because the TV had no signal. No breakfast, but they do give out BOGO's for a couple local breakfast joints. Decent for $100/night (2 queen beds).

Our room was not as expected. There was mold in the corners of the room and the wall paper was coming off the walls from possible moisure in the room. The bed definitely needed to be replaced and felt like an old camper mattress. Thin, springy, and concaving to the center. Will not be staying again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Person at the front desk was a bit aloof and expected us to know where our room was and where the pool/waterpark were. The rooms were filthy…mildew all over the bathroom, mold under the kitchenette sink…stains on the ceilings where it looked like a bug was squashed, stains on the covers of the bed and the pillows. Floors were so dirty that the bottoms of our feet turned black. Musty overall smell. Pool/waterpark were ok but very run down. Will not ever stay here again or recommend this place.

This property is dated. Rooms do require a bit of upkeep as some of the furniture is well used. However the reason we stayed here was because of the indoor water park and that was in great working order. It is geared towards young kids, 10 and under, and ours thoroughly enjoyed it. We spent 3 nights here and every night we were at the pool from dinner time until 9 with no issues. Would stay here again.
