Everything was great. It’s is a nice quaint area of town. It is safe and clean and the life guards at the water park are really on it and make sure your kids are safe and are super friendly as well.

We had a great experience. The boys had a blast. My son had a bit of a health scare while at the water park, but the staff were amazing at helping us! They were so well trained and ready for anything.

Fun
Its always a really fun stay for my tween and her friends. Having said that, we were disappointed that they changed the hours of the waterpark. Last year it was open until 10. This year it closed at 8. Personally, i feel like 8 is too early.

Found ants in our hotel bathroom during the stay and informed front desk, nothing was done. Men’s locker room was not in good condition.

Could have been better.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but there were several things we wish were better. Food options are VERY limited. Lines for food are very long as well with min signage on where to order. The wave pool was not working so just a big open pool. In each section of the waterpark was something not on or broken. There is not much to do if your kids wake up before 10am.

Great Experience
Everything was great with our stay. We were able to check in early upon our arrival and get settled in prior to visiting the waterpark! That was extremely helpful. We enjoyed the activities staff and enjoyed all the activities they offer and include the kids in. Room was clean and comfortable. Wonderful stay.

Wont be back
We just went here for the indoor waterpark. The hotel room was very dirty. There was dirt in every corner. There was dust everywhere. The keys to our room wouldnt work several times even though we had new ones made. The elevators kept malfunctioning. The walls were very thin and we could hear neighbors and people in the hallway constantly. The events they hold are laughable. We had fun at the waterpark but there was a bandaid and chewed gum in the wave pool... so we left early.
