Expensive for over crowded water park
Pros:

It was nice and clean and friendly staff

Cons:

Water park was way over crowded! Couldn’t even enjoy the water. I’m surprised they don’t have a limit on how many people can be in there. Plus we were there for holiday weekend and wouldn’t have stayed Sunday if we knew water park wouldn’t be open. That was disappointing to kids

Cons:

The resort sent an email on the day before travel that I was visiting during the off-season, but the price I paid for my stay didn’t reflect that. During the reservation process, I wasn’t informed that the outdoor pools wouldn’t be available, and I made the reservation based on that information. When the resort decided to consider the labor weekend as an off-season and closed the external pools, they didn’t adjust the pricing accordingly.

CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS RESORT
Pros:

Location only.

Cons:

The resort is run down, exterior falling apart, interior decor worn out, receptionist was rude at check-in, no maid service except they re-supplied towels and took trash in the HALLWAY BY YOUR DOOR, toilet seat was broken, hallways were littered with trash, no breakfast service on the property, only snack service at the water park for lunch, parking was iffy. I would NOT RECOMMEND this so-called ‘resort’. Terrible value.

For the amount of money that we spent, it would be expected to have hot water in the shower and enough toilet paper.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

We did not have hot water one of the mornings we were there. The cable tv was not working; only certain channels came in. Pillows on the couches were dirty. We ran out of toilet paper the morning we were leaving.

Pros:

Love that there was food on facility the waterpark indoor was amazing and proximity to Arnold Park. It’s nice.

Cons:

Didn’t like the outdoor pool wasn’t heated… Didn’t get in because it was so cold. The hotel itself was probably due for an update in regards to rooms flooring and balcony area specifically. Game room was OK but when a grandchild doesn’t wanna go there… That’s something, they always want to go there.

We had fun but a little disappointed this go around.
Pros:

Love the location, the convenience of a full kitchen in the suite, and space.

Cons:

The outdoor pool was freezing! To the point where you never get used to it. It’s a waste of one of the entire amenities. The room was not properly stocked with items for the kitchen. It was not fully cleaned this time.
