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.

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.

Not 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

Overall, it was a great stay. We stayed for New Year’s Eve, so knew it could be busy and loud…and it was. Was able to deal with the craziness at midnight as it was to be expected. The waterpark was great and we enjoyed our meals from the snack shack. The continental breakfast unfortunately missed the mark. Muffins were ice cold, long line for the one waffle maker, orange juice was very watery, and not a lot of a selection available. The only positives were the scrambled eggs and plentiful seating. I feel they just were not prepared for the amount of people. We have stayed here before and will stay again.
