What parents say
"My girlfriend and I are staying here right now for our 2 year anniversary! Most adults my age want to party and make bad choices. Our idea of fun is innocent fun like shopping, going to the zoo, pool, etc. This place is the perfect place for us! The staff have been very friendly and helpful! We forgot brushes and toothpaste and the front desk had toothpaste and combs for us! We are very thankful! We loved the waterpark! The slide was fun and fast! Lots of people in the other reviews were complaining about stains in the room, it not being updated, or super clean but the hotel is $90 a night. I "

"The rooms were a little dated but the sweets were decently sized. They were a little overpriced on the weekends. The staff were very nice & accommodating. The water park area is GREAT for smaller kids as most of the water is only about 3 1/2 feet deep. My 5 yr old LOVED it & I would definitely go back again & again."

"King suit looks bigger in the pictures than it is. It think this place could be better if it was more up to date. Working tvs, USB port charging, alarm clocks that actually work, paying attention to the check ins(ex: extra pillows and blankets already in rooms for guests that have more than 2 people) My experience was not overly pleasant. The young gentleman that checked me in was very courteous and sweet. Did a fantastic job getting me what I needed. The manager was nice enough to fix the biggest issue I had and that made it worth it. I will at least give this hotel another chance."
