In the middle of a remodel. Bar/snack area was closed which was disappointing. Room was nice. Pool area could have been kept cleaner. There was food in the kids pool at one point.

Waterpark was fine but areas were dirty. Concession stand did not open when we went over a 2 day period. Arcade had many broken games. Rooms were okay and much more clean than the public areas.

Our stay here was great overall. Room was spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer—they were super courteous. There was some remodeling going on but they made a serious effort to limit any inconvenience. Solid spot, we will come back.

Room and staff were great and friendly. Complementary breakfast needs some work. Had better breakfast at a motel. Waterpark is small and more for little kids. People bring animals there and dont pick up after their animals. As soon as you step outside there is dog poop all over. Not to mention all the yellow snow right in frontbof the door. Like come people if your not going to pick up after your pets at least walk them to the other side of the parking lot
