The property as a whole could use a fresh coat of paint and the steps leading to the slide were very rusty, however it was a great time overall. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We will be back

This property deff needs some upgrades, pools waterpark was dirty. Also dont like the fact when hotel is filled dont allow outside people in for day passes. Close it off to public. Paid $500 for 2 rooms on a Saturday and they were still letting people in with day passes.

The water park is not what the pictures showed. Missing the kiddie section with the jungle gym and kiddie slide. Black mold in the pool locker rooms. The heater in the room either didnt stop running or wouldnt turn on. Dining options in hotel were expensive. The breakfast buffet was good but pretty standard now days. We will not be visiting again

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.

The good : housekeepers did a wonderful job on our room. It was so clean! The arcade was fun for my daughter. The waterpark was ok. The water was cold, but maybe that was normal. The not so good : the breakfast was ok, nothing special. Not a ton of choices. We got there at 3:55 pm to check in since check in is at 4, but didnt get into our room until 515. I work in a hotel so i get that rooms arent always ready on time. We were ok to wait. Meg, who checked us in was wonderful and gave us free pizza and drinks for the wait. My worst part of the experience was the other check in lady named Jenny. She does not know how to speak to guests very pleasantly. She comes across as snotty and belittling. Would possibly stay again.
