- DBDebra Bank4 days ago5.0The water park is a plus, good location
- SMShelby MercerMar 28, 20262.0Went here for a surprise for my kids. The place was nice. I wish there was actual tubes available to use in the lazy river waited hours to get one. (Thats all my kids wanted to do) Also, breakfast goes until 930 but you better get there sooner. As we were on a vacation we wanted to sleep in. Got down to breakfast at about 9 and there was little to nothing left. My son will only eat sausage and it was empty, I asked the lady if more would be made and she said no- I asked if she could just make a couple so my 4 year old could have something to eat and again got a no. If your going to have breakfast until 930- make sure there is food until 930. Also dont shut the lights off on the ones who are still eating! Wish I would have chose somewhere else to spend my money on, its not cheap and I had a very hangry 4 year old this morning- had to leave to mcdonalds to get him sausage.
- ABAlyssa BMar 22, 20263.0The beds were comfortable and we all slept really well. It’s pretty bogus that the waterpark doesn’t open until 9 AM and the slides don’t open until 10 AM. Checkout is 11 and having a family of 4 that needs to shower to remove chlorine after swimming that doesn’t allow any time to enjoy the amenities that we paid for. This is a very expensive hotel presumably because of this waterpark that we didn’t get to use but was our primary reason for booking this specific hotel.
- TNTyler NelsonMar 20, 20265.0Great place. Took the kids ages 4 & 7 for 3 days over spring break and it was a great time. Awesome little water park bar and grill where you can order drinks or food. Hours vary. Over all a great stay and the kids played hard.
