Absolutely loved the room, balcony, and ambiance. Wish there were more dinner meals on the menu, and that it could have had more privacy, but overall loved this place!

Room/hotel was generally fine. The thing that killed it for me was walking into the room and being hit by a cloud of what smelled like cheap cologne. Seemed that someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom and this was the answer. The "cologne" gradually faded but the bathroom still smelled like an ashtray the next morning.

Breakfast was a little disappointing. Not much of a selection. Other than that, hotel was clean and quiet and overall a good stay.

Our room was wonderful...recently remodeled.Very roomy...clean...comfortable. If there was anything negative was the noise made by children around 12:00am. That's probably more on the parents of those children. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Waterpark was good. Arcade could use some attention. Some games weren’t working. I would definitely stay here again!
