This will the be my first choice on any subsequent visit.
Pros:

Great place to stay. The staff at the front desk was friendly, considerate and professional, and I appreciated having someone staffing the breakfast especially someone to prepare waffles.

Cons:

Almost not worth mentioning. The bathroom door squeaked a little.

Very clean, would stay again
Pros:

Very, very clean room. Check-in was quick and flawless. Breakfast was wonderful. There were several employees helping out at breakfast so it wasn't chaotic as most hotel breakfasts can be.

Cons:

Sliders "restaurant". Not really a restaurant but rather a walk up counter to grab a sandwich or wrap. It mainly services the waterpark.

Pros:

The location, breakfast, and waterpark

Cons:

Staff did bare minimum, wouldn’t come clean room even when requested (had to call 3 times in one day before anyone came up), trash sitting out in the hallway because housekeeping weren’t cleaning rooms. The beds were uncomfortable, fridges weren’t cold, blood on sheets and wall.

Pros:

The stay alone was good. The staff was friendly and professional.

Cons:

No management for the waterpark. We traveled specifically for the Waterpark and was unable to use the night before we left. There should have been back up. As many families that go for that main reason.
