"We stayed for the first time on the Saturday before Easter. We had a little snafu upon check-in, but that was quickly remedied by the manager, Stacy B. She was extremely professional, courteous, and friendly. She went above and beyond to ensure the rest of our stay was enjoyable. We spent the day at the waterpark, which was an all around great experience for us and our 21 month old son. The park was very clean, not overly crowded, had plenty to do, and great (freshly prepared) food with plenty of options. We had the quesadillas and waffle fries - yum !

"The room layout is neat very clean and tidy. Breakfast is terrible and you have to pay for it they charge it to your room even if you don't eat it and it's a buffet. 🤢. The water park side of the hotel is very big and has slides and basketball and donuts to float in it's very much a kid's Paradise. There is also a regular pool that's a lot more laid back and quiet to enjoy. Overall it was a great experience I just will remember to skip the breakfast and save the money and go somewhere with better food."
