Place was great, kids loved it, room was clean and everything was nice. I personally hated the beds and thought they were super hard but the rest of the family thought they were fine. We will definitely stay again. Pool area was large enough to keep the kids plenty busy but not too big so you could see them pretty much the entire time.

Water park was great! Very clean and well taken care of. The hotel itself could use some tlc. The shower made a lot of noise and there was no shower fan. Things were starting to get pretty worn out. Bedding was wonderful, lots of room lighting, and appliances all worked. Any staff we met was very polite and helpful. I love the hot tub that goes outside. It was a beautiful October day to sit outside!
