When checking in, I was told that Expedia had canceled our reservation, but I had not received any communication to that effect. Property was a bit run down, but for an inexpensive place to lay your head for the night it was ok. The mattress was firm, but no blankets. Surprisingly, the pillows were good. The room air conditioner leaked and the carpet was wet. There was a kitchenette in the room with a stove, mini fridge and microwave. Curiously, there were no wastebaskets in the room, and there wasn't room for one in the bathroom. The pool was closed; I don't think it had even been opened. They had coffee and donuts for breakfast.

My mom stayed here with two 5 year old grandsons and they had a blast. She said the staff was very helpful and gave great recommendations for things in the area to do. She said the hotel was centrally located right across from Dutch Wonderland but also that entire strip had stuff to do and easy to drive to.

Allow plenty of time to explore the museum. Lots of information to look over. If you have children, be sure to pick up the Junior Ranger workbook at the NPS desk.

the film was wonderful and informative even for people who know the basics of the civil war. HOWEVER, the part of the museum where you go to see the diorama and see/hear the show, better be prepared to SEE NOTHING. there is only a small part of the 360 degree painting that reflects the action of the story and the railing along that section gets to be 3 and 4 people deep as soon as you come up the elevator. everyone else is relegated to the sides and back of the circle and can see nothing of the action. if the standing area was 10 feel lower or the painting held higher then everyone could see it; as it was, i only saw the blue sky while the battle was being described below it. disappointing.

The film and Cyclorama are dramatic and very moving. A must see.
