I booked a party room for my son’s birthday party. When we arrived no one was helpful as far as where my party room was, who to talk to…nothing! On top of it I was being charged $300 for the party room/food (6 pizzas and 6 pitchers of pop). When I called 3 months prior to schedule this outrageous fee was never explained to me. They told me I would only be paying for the party room ($25 per hour) and $16 per pizza and $6 per pitcher So we had 2 hours in the room = $50 6 pizzas at $16 =$96 6 pitchers at $6=$36 Total $182 They wanted to charge me $50 for the room and $10 person we invited.So $350 for 25 people and that would include the 6 pizzas and 6 pitchers. Luckily the sweetest employee understood my frustration and that it wasn’t explained to me and refunded the $300. My final charge was what I was told at $182. When it came to getting our food however they said it would be delivered to the room along with the pitchers. The pizzas were there but no pitchers! I had to go get those myself. I’ve worked food service and customer service and I was not expected to be waited on hand and foot but I did expect to have it not be such a stressful day. It’s as if no one communicates anything amongst employees, no one knows what they are doing and no one was helpful. I will not be having another party at this hotel.

I love this place, I had been there a few times when my daughters were younger and this time brought my new family of 5. It's clean, quiet, spacious, tastefully decorated rooms, and has a fun, cleverly designed indoor waterpark with an amazing indoor/outdoor hot tub that is wonderfully heavenly. You feel like you are far away in an artic oasis. My entire family enjoyed our stay! We will be back.

While the staff is amazing, the hotel is definitely a little outdated. There was some mold in the bathroom and paint peeling. The water park while fun was also a little outdated and rusty. Breakfast was hot and tasty but few gluten free options.
