This was a family gathering and birthday celebration for five grandchildren we did as a group. We came in on Saturday and unfortunately only got use of the pool on Saturday which we had to defer and plan for other planning for the kids for Sunday. That was a big reason we booked at this hotel, other than that this day was good

The staff was friendly and helpful, checking us in and answering our questions. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. I was impressed with the comfort level of the king bed; probably the most comfortable hotel bed ever! The waterpark was great fun, and not at all crowded. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Just a heads up…no lockers, so keep that in mind. We enjoyed the complementary breakfast as well. There was a nice variety of items to choose from. And the dining area was neat and clean. I would definitely recommend Rapid River Lodge! We had a great stay!
