Great stay with teens

We traveled with teenagers, and both rooms were very clean and comfortable. It was even nice and quiet, considering how busy it seemed. The housekeeping and front desk staff were incredibly nice and professional. Having Perkins and the water park adjacent to the hotel was very convenient. The water park was super-busy, but the kids had fun.

New Years

The room was very comfortable and clean. I like how the Watiki admissions are with the room now. It was such hassle with charges n getting them situated. Now it better. Desk staff very efficient in their work. Quick n courteous.
