Found a shirt left in our room along with the entertainment center covered in dust, food still on silverware, left our receipt partially under the door with personal information(also seeing many others in front of doors on floors), housekeepers were the friendliest staff, front desk staff were snooty. If you can get over that overall the stay was very nice. Even the walk to the water park was nice not having to go outside.

We had an excellent stay! The room was spacious and waterpark for my son was great! My only complaint would be them not willing to refund the last night when we decided to leave a day early.

Family vacation success!

Family vacation…..3 - 2 bdrm suites. So comfortable & spacious. Had all the extras needed in the kitchenette. Loved that the water park was free to all hotel guests as of 1/1/2025! All staff was very accommodating. We had to leave a day early bc weather. No charges.

Very nice hotel and great location

Everything was great until we went to take showers. The shower had no door and drained very slowly - not exactly the type of shower you would expect on a family vacation. Other than that, our stay was very nice and comfortable.
