We enjoyed our stay at the Cartoon Network Hotel—it’s cute and family-friendly, especially with Dutch Wonderland next door. The water park and pool are the real highlights. That said, the rooms are average for the price, the facilities feel dated, and character access is limited. It has more of a motel vibe with Cartoon Network branding. Still, the nearby dining and shopping make it a convenient and fun choice for families.

Great property for active kids. Big lawn to run around in. My toddler loved the bunk bed. They had activities in the lobby, and the staff was friendly. The indoor pool was nice (just very cold!). Dutch Wonderland is literally across the parking lot and they have discount tickets. The character breakfast was also really cute. Only downside was that there is a light outside of the room that attracts bugs so it was hard to go in and out without bringing in flying critters. Would have been great if we could turn that off ourselves. We will def be back.

Room was disgusting, hair found in shower, stains in blankets and sheets. Room was filled with gnats. We booked for 2 nights, left following check in. Drain backed up in shower. Check in supposed to be a 4, room wasn’t ready until 5:30. The staff was friendly and helpful, however it seems they are severely understaffed. The person running indoor coffee shop was also in charge of the poolside food cart, which never opened. The website advertised gluten free food options, however, nobody was able to tell us what those options were and the menus provided did not have anything gluten-free listed. The location is decent with outlets across the street and Dutch Wonderland literally next-door .

We were at the property for less than 3 hours and it was a horrible experience. Upon walking into the room, we were hit with the smell of mold and mildew. It was incredibly humid and the ac had some kind of black mold growing on the vent. The carpet next to the bed had a white/yellow puddle of liquid on it and it soaked completely through our socks when we stepped on it. The bed skirt near the puddle had a yellow stain. We inspected the mattress and the white bedding for bed bugs and found wet brownish yellow stains. There was also a spot where it looked like pink makeup. The walls had dried food on them and the paint was badly chipped. The toilet took two or three flushes to completely flush down, and it never stopped making a noise like it was still running. Aesthetically, for the price, the room sucked. There was hardly anything besides a picture hung up by packing tape and minimal themed bedding. The gift shop is incredibly overpriced and does not offer refunds or exchanges, and does not take cash. This location is falsely advertised as a hotel but is actually a motel. You only get a room in the main building if you book a suite. I paid $275 for one night and I am being given the run around about receiving a refund.

It was nice, calming, family friendly and close To everything. I just wish they had additional water activities or pool games for kids to reallly enjoy the experience beyond just the pool. But, all in all it’s a nice stay and met expectations for my price.

Our rooms floor was disgustingly dirty. They need to have a professional cleaning company once a month or 2 at least and shampoo carpets. My kids played on the floor while unloading the car and by the end their socks were almost black. Restaurant didnt have good food either and was way overpriced. Youre just paying for the name of the hotel !

Took our grandkids(4/5) to Dutch Wonderland and spent the night here. Kids really enjoyed the pool and splash park. We had two full size beds- not super comfortable . The hotel was pretty quiet . Would come back as the kids really enjoyed their stay.

The hotel looked like an old motel painted to look nice. Overall it wasn't bad, but looked dated. Tried to check-in 15 minutes after check-in time but my room wasn't ready. There were 3 TVs in the room, one for each bunkbed and one for the regular bed. Only problem with that was all 3 remotes controlled all 3 TVs. So anytime one of the kids changed the channel on thier TV they changed all the TVs. Also i know its not thier fault but they really need a better entrance/exit as turning left out of the lot is a little treacherous. I would stay here again as the kids really liked it, but as a paying adult i would expect just a little bit more from a themed hotels.

Stay was nice my son love it ! We had so much fun in the water park and hotel waiting to see characters my son was super happy he got to see his favorite characters ! But it would be amazing if they had more statues of the characters around the hotel so kids could take pictures and see more Cartoon Network statues like the ones in the front of the hotel and the sprinkle park .. also my son wanted to buy plush toys and didn’t have in the store only in the claw machine we played like 25 dollars in it and grabbed all the time the toys and they all fall didn’t win nothing horrible claw machine only spend money and my son was so sad it was his birthday and he spent his money gift in there and did not get toys !! But overall good experience love it.
