Book early for the summer, as they get sold out! Rightly so, as the rooms are clean, recently remodeled, and the water park is fantastic for the kids to run out their energy and adults to relax poolside or in the indoor-outdoor hot tub! The staff is so kind and helpful, they make it easy to relax. The continental breakfast is good - there's a waffle maker, so that's a step-up from most other hotels, and lots of other options, including boiled eggs and yogurt for protein options. Highly recommend staying here!

The property has been completely renovated (minus the pool area) since we were last there about 3 years ago, and it’s gorgeous! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The Pub cooked up some wonderful pizza and cheese curds. The arcade room was fun, clean and in working order. The tiny tot area of the pool and the hot tub was nice but still no operating snack bar and the pools (and slide) are definitely in need of a facelift and improved filtration system; we saw quite a bit of debris. Front desk said a remodel is in the works for the pool area, which is awesome! The breakfast area provided so many options which was great!
