    Overall this hotel was pretty nice. The first day the hot tub was not hot, but told the guy up front and it was fixed eventually. The pool was a little cold, but nice. Breakfast was hot, with pancakes, eggs, sausage, potato's, & more. The suit we stayed in had a door so you have privacy from the living room which was nice. About 25-30 mins from six flags.
