"Great place to stay. You can go through the gates on level 1 and be in the line of the body sled ride. Your bands will open the gates. They have a sign on them saying guess only entrance. Fun place. Awesome AC!!!!!!!"

Other than that, the hotel was great. After returning from a hot day, cookies and cucumber water greet you ..."
