I was charged an extra $15 for my daughter after I put in the amount of people I was going to have it said I didn’t and I had to pay extra. Also shutting everything down at 9 PM is ridiculous. They should keep it open for adults only until 11 or midnight.
Nice hotel find for us. All the staff was great. Cute furnishings, just a little bit of wear and tear. Really enjoyed the restaurant being attached and although we went as a couple, if you had kids the waterpark would be nice.
The stay was nice. The rooms need a little tlc. Bathroom grout was missing on floor tiles and they shifted a bit. Table lamp didn’t work. Waterpark was nice but a little cold. And added fees for requesting conjoined rooms. Staff was very friendly and overall good stay. But for the cost the bathroom could use some work.

The only positive was that the check in staff was friendly.
Mold in our first room (rm 110). We were moved to another room that was musty but no visible mold. The ceiling in the bathroom had obvious water stains and was crumbling (rm 120) so I’m sure there was hidden mold there.
We were told breakfast stopped at 10. We arrived at 8:45 and they were already taking it apart. The staff member there told us it actually stops at 9AM. She let us take plates to our room from what was packed up but everything was cold and gross.
Water park was dirty and broken down. The life guard let a group of his friends in who were repeatedly leaving the side doors open to go out and smoke.
Arcade was supposed to be open but it wasn’t.
Beds were awful, uncomfortable and the protective covers made so much noise that any time someone moves it woke everyone up.
We won’t be back. There are two better water parks in town so I would strongly recommend choosing those over this run down dump.
Staff were pleasant and professional in their jobs.

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.
We booked a room that claimed to house 6 people. We get there and the room is 2 queen beds and a chair with afoot stool. We asked about a roll away and was told no. Carpet in hallway was coming up and bubbling and there were several soft spots under the carpet.

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
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
