"The room was very clean. Great central location for sight seeing. Building looked brand new and furnishings were in great condition. Parking was very easy. However, walls are thin, could hear snoring from the next room. The room did have a sound machine to help. Also you can’t keep your window blind open because people walking by your room can see into your room. If you don’t spend much time in your room wouldn’t be an issue."

"i loved the stay and the water park but me and my kids only stayed for one night and we got there around 4 and the waterpark closes at 8. so we went to the water park as soon as we got there and we waited in line for 10-15 minutes each time because they only had 1 person running 3 water slides. and they shut down the family slide! so basically we only got to ride slides for two hours at most. AND our connection in the room was terrible. it kept glitching the entire time. we did enjoy the comfortable beds and how they had an arcade and desert place on the property. overall we had an amazing time i just think that they need to hire more people and they need to up their wifi game!"
