Water park was great! Very clean and well taken care of. The hotel itself could use some tlc. The shower made a lot of noise and there was no shower fan. Things were starting to get pretty worn out. Bedding was wonderful, lots of room lighting, and appliances all worked. Any staff we met was very polite and helpful. I love the hot tub that goes outside. It was a beautiful October day to sit outside!

Staff was not rude, but sure didnt seem like they wanted to be there. No good mornings, how was your stay etc. Hotel carpet is not very clean so keep your shoes on. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was pretty good, although, when came to get coffee an employee was there and was coughing directly at the coffee machine not covering his mouth. The pancake machine wouldn't work so when i went to front desk she seemed a bit put out and said she had changed it. She replaced it and it was fine but sensed some attitude there. That is what prompted this review. That and the check out when the employer didnt ask how stay was and seemed a bit put out. Waterpark wasn't open so can't comment on that. Probably wouldnt stay here again especially since many hotels in that area to choose from.
