Newly remodeled very clean. Modern new feeling rooms, not just fresh paint but completely new everything down to bathtub! We would highly recommend. Plus it’s pet friendly, we witnessed someone carrying their cat from the water park to their room.

The initial staff was great when we checked in. The staff was non-existent whwn we checked out so I just left the room keys on the counter. As for the room, it was very clean and nice. The one complaint I have is the AC unit. Its an older push button unit that should be updated. I turned it all the way to cold to cool the room down. It then shuts off completely so I need to go push the fan only button. Then in the middle of the night, it warms up again so I hit the AC button until it cools down and shuts off completely again.

Stayed for a night while on vacation to escape the heat. The rooms are recently remodeled and very clean. The A/C was crisp and the beds were comfy. Kids loved the water park and the arcade. Breakfast was pretty basic.

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!

Everything was really clean and well maintained, the beds were comfortable. The only issue I had was the inroom TV controller wasn't the easiest to navigate, but I didn't really spend a lot of time watching tv. Overall, I would stay here again.
