Outdated and unappealing. Beds were very uncomfortable. Room temperature was difficult to regulate. Pool area is extremely loud and echos through the rooms. Wouldn't recommend unless you have children under the age of 5. Insanely overpriced for sure. Definitely wouldn't stay again

The beds were extremely uncomfortable! They were lumpy and frames were broken. The “pull out sofa” was more a slider futon which was stained and very dirty. It made me a little concerned to have my grandson sleep on it. We had to call and request linens and all they brought were sheets so we had to go to the desk ourselves to get blankets. For a family place and the price, I felt the upkeep should have been a lot better!!

The beds needs to be up dated. Hallway needs a deep shampooing. The room was very clean but it didn't have a dresser to put your clothes away. I love it was so close to the Adventureland park.

I was assaulted by an underage girl who was clearly intoxicated. She literally punched me in the face. I wish I could submit the video here, but it’s all over social media. The rooms around the pool like ours had music bumping, dirty clothes hanging and 8 to 10 people partying. It was a free for all. The big bunch of locals there took the entire length of the pool to play football with real leather balls. I was holding my niece towards me and the football hit her hard in the face. Not one thing was done. The Altoona Police refused to let me file a report after asking 3 times. This place, and town is probably the most unsafe town in Iowa. The beds had cut curtain material and sheets had stains. We moved hotels to be safe. The desk clerk at the other hotel got us in before 7 am because he knew it was unsafe. Have not heard one thing from the police or the property, but they will be hearing from me. I was physically assaulted, punched in the face! STAY AWAY IT IS UNSAFE

For a $300 stay, no microwave in room to warm up food. There was no indoor waterslides, only 1 of the hot tubes was working and everything closes at 9pm. Check in is at 4pm that only gives you 5 hours of water time, just not worth it for $300 per night stay, definitely not a getaway spot for adults if you have kids definitely place maybe for them.

Upon arrival phone on the floor, not hooked up. Cords exposed, hanging from the wall. Unsafe and I have a 1 year old. The cleanliness was terrible. Food splatters on the bathroom door. Refrigerator was not cold, attempted to call front desk 3 times and no answer. Walked down and the front desk was rude & sent maintenance to room and then had security follow. Maintenance guy was very rude about the temperature of the refrigerator which was at 48 degrees, no knobs on the fridge to adjust temperature. Questioned the exposed cords and having small children, maintenance said that the “owners were renovating”. Checked the bed at night and noticed blood spots for possible bed bugs. We brought it to management and they didn’t see a concern. Asked for extra towels multiple times & pillows and never received them. Didn’t come and empty garbage, we even placed on our deck for 2 days because it was overflowing and we needed it emptied. The maintenance guy said “keep complaining to the front desk maybe they’ll finally do something about the maids around here”. We will choose to stay somewhere else next time. We enjoyed the Adventureland park, but also with staying at the hotel there is no perks to even the park, shuttle wasn’t running or they didn’t have one.
