This hotel and water park exceeded our expectations and was the perfect place for a family of four. Having a separate room for the adults with a door, the kid bunk room with a door, and a separate living area was a huge plus.

We very last minute planned our 4th of July weekend and saw that this property had available rooms. We were shocked at how clean it was, the amenities, pool/waterpark, staff, etc. for the price we paid, especially on a holiday weekend. We are a family of four with kids 11 and 7. Will definitely stay here again.
