We will be back!
Pros:

Loved the family room. Its hard finding room that accommodates a family of 7. It was spacious. The girls at the front desk were helpful and were nice. I loved the location. They did have sign for hotel parking only when they had an event going on at the restaurant across.

Cons:

The family room only includes 6 wristbands. The waterpark could use a nice clean along with the locker room. They also close the waterpark 5 minutes early. The arcade was expensive and silly prizes.

Overall, for the price we paid it was decent. Wish breakfast was free considering the waterpark was closed but for one n
Pros:

Staff was extremely friendly. Front desk ladies were amazing. Location was also great, located near lots of restaurants and places to go.

Cons:

Was a bummer the waterpark was closed on weekdays. You have to pay for breakfast. The people upstairs were extremely loud as well, sounded like they were throwing furniture.

Spacious room. Overpriced breakfast.
Pros:

Very spacious room. It was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the sitting area.

Cons:

I thought breakfast was overpriced. That was a disappointment for me. And others in my group did have breakfast, but it looked like what most hotels offer as included.

Pros:

The staff was 😃

Cons:

The room was way to small for a suite/ price. Vents ceilings were filthy. I had to move furniture to the bedroom so I could move around only 1 person.

Pros:

Rooms were clean and all staff was kind ... Can't stress how nice the staff were

Cons:

The constant smell of weed. I do not care people use, but when I feel like my children are exposed its annoying. Also the kids running up and down the hall was slightly annoying. Not the hotels fault, but both times we stayed it was like that.

Nice stay
Pros:

We liked the breakfast,dining area, the bar area to watch sports.

Cons:

There was an event at the Rockwood restaurant next-door and no parking to be found until 9 PM. We had to come at nine just to find a parking spot in the parking lot. Also, the restaurant at the hotel happened to be closed down that night so we couldn’t get dinner at the restaurant and had to go elsewhere. assuming these are not normal occurrences
