3.5 / 5.0
The water park was great. Love having life guards on duty. My kids and grandchildren will always remember and ask to go back over and over.
No real dislikes. Understand property is older and continued repairs are part of having a hotel of this age. The water area needs many more towels. It would help folks leaving going to their rooms tracking water throughout the hotel.

The room was clean nice size .the staff 3rd shift was great
I didn't like that we were not informed the the bigger slides were not working. It wasn't tell check is when I got a email about the slides. The tiki bar in the pool area was closed sat there while workers came in and out and didn't say a word. The smaller pool was dirty water warm and cloudy.... The game room games would take ur money off the card and the games still didn't work .

nothing
the tiki bar was dirty, the reception was a mad house, the room both queen beds bedding and bed skirts were stained, bathroom was dirty, floor was dirty, walls looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint, the vent in the room was rusted, the water slides was not working. the front desk staff was rude, and they could not control other guests in the hotel, I seen staff whom I though were staff at least they had radios on them like other staff but they where drinking on the job, and absolutely not helpful at all. it truly was a mad house, I will never stay there again.

Nothing
Was supposed to be a king room.. gave us double queens
went in sat on the bed and it fell to the floor . I called the front desk to let them know . Instead of sending us to another room she says I will have maintenance come up [this is after 9pm] I wait about 20 minutes and call back up and she does not answer. so I have to walk all the way back to the front desk to see her on her phone. She waits for the maintenance man to call her to give me a room. New room on the other side of the hotel (now this is not a small place ) New room smells like smoke . At this time it's 10pm so we say screw it and stay in that room.
I'm not one to give bad reviews
But this place and its front desk was horrible!

Sofa bed mattress was severely stained. Large water slide didn’t work. Pool hours began in late afternoon.
2.5 / 5.0
We liked the idea of having another option for hotels with Waterparks.
I don't feel like our room was overly clean. There's were stains on the bedding. The floor boards had something on it pretty much all the way around the room. I also felt like the pool areas weren't as clean as well. Lots of staining on the pool and hot tub sides. The bigger pool had random sand on the bottom in multiple areas.

I loved the caring and consideration of the life guards at the pools they were so attentive to the kids and special needs adults we had.
The front desk staff was not very kind actually felt when needed we were bothering them
