Our whole stay was incredible! The pool area with non slip floor is awesome, everything was working well, and the lifeguards were constantly watching. Breakfast was great and even able to accommodate for my wife being gluten free. The room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Everything was better than expected. The hotel was full for Labor Day weekend yet it never felt packed. There were plenty of spaces to sit for breakfast and in the water park. The rooms were very clean with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are several places to eat nearby and a lot of entertainment options.

This hotel and water park exceeded our expectations and was the perfect place for a family of four. Having a separate room for the adults with a door, the kid bunk room with a door, and a separate living area was a huge plus.

We very last minute planned our 4th of July weekend and saw that this property had available rooms. We were shocked at how clean it was, the amenities, pool/waterpark, staff, etc. for the price we paid, especially on a holiday weekend. We are a family of four with kids 11 and 7. Will definitely stay here again.
