Ok hotel. Carpets need replacing (dirty and smelly) and the rooms are not the cleanest. The beds are alright but the pillows are literally terrible. All 8 pillows felt like a pillowcase filed with golfballs. Old hotel so thin walls. Could hear every door open and slam and the people above us walking around. For the location decent price. Highly they have an amazing pirate ship pool and splash area for kids. Ages 3-8 it’s perfect pool space and the staff are friendly and do a wonderful job.

We loved the water park. The kids had so much fun playing there. I wasnt thrilled about the $20 daily for parking. When you're paying for a rental and hotel and then an extra $200 just to park your rental at the hotel, its just ridiculous. The hotel STINKS. Like literally smells really bad through the halls. Smells moldy. I also noticed mold around the edge of the tub. The staff was very nice though and the cleaning staff were so sweet and put my kids stuffed animals and blankets so cute on the bed. I probably wont stay here again because of the smell and not knowing about how much parking would be beforehand. Id rather pay a little more and stay somewhere that i dont need to hold my breath when i walk in
