My husband and I thought it would be fun to spend a night at this hotel/waterpark for my birthday. Checking in was chaotic since they only had two workers at their busiest time (4:00pm - check in time) and it's the same line whether you're checking into the hotel or if you're simply buying waterpark tickets. They were very disorganized... More

We stayed on a Sunday night for a birthday present for our son with 5 kids. We purchased a kids suite, which was perfect because the boys had their own room with bunk beds, where they could shut the door. The room was very spacious and nice. The kids enjoyed the waterpark. It was very crowded since there was not... More

It started from the check in; waiting in line, the hotel messed up our reservations only to push us aside and wait while they helped others. Are the other people more important then us? The rooms were clean and nice. We ate supper at the resturant, they were out of French fries, our orders were messed up but supper went... More

A lazy river, a decent pool with hoops for bball and a large spa/hot tub. Also islnad like area with slides for toddlers/... More

Dear DJCOOP14, I would like to apologize for the service that you received during your recent visit. There are some glaring opportunities that you mentioned that need immediate attention. First off, our staff should have let you use the water park until your room was ready for you, as this was a very busy week. The situation regarding the restaurant... More

Upon entering the main lobby, I had to stand in line with at least 10 to 12 other families while 2 people behind the counter frantically checked people in. While in line, we had to witness a 3 year old little boy puke right in the middle of the lobby. The employees at the front desk were so busy checking... More

I'm reviewing the waterpark only as we are locals who bought waterpark passes (a quick and easy process); we did not use a hotel room. Please note that this waterpark is not open everyday. The schedule varies quite a bit. It's best to check the hotel's website for days and hours. Yes, the waterpark is open to non-hotel guests. The... More
