Josh, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was nice and large but the lack of black out shades made it bright and hard to sleep in the morning. Was disappointed the pool was closed tho the weather was still quite warm. The mini golf course was beyond run down and neglected in need of much repairing. Most of the light poles either didn't work or were broke and on the ground wich wasn't the safest. There was also a man hole cover that was open and very unsafe
Gina, 3-night trip

Room large and very nice.
Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The AC was so loud, can not sleep. Lobby was smelled very strong with the chemical.
Tram, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Old, But OK

The hotel is old and a little worn down. However, I didn’t get a dirty feeling from the hotel and it is walking distance from the water park. No need to drive. The on-site miniature golf is free with the booking, which is a plus! I would stay here again.
Makesa, 3-night trip

Nice Hotel

The hotel was great, but the free breakfast was in another building not connected and it was cold and raining outside.
Joseph, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

mini-vacation

This is an older hotel which shows in chips in paint, carpet, and over-all look. Woke up in the middle of the night to discover roaches in the , that the bathroom...didn't do much to make us feel the hotel room was clean/sanitary.

10/10 Exceptional

It was a good experience.
Valerie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the complimentary breakfast great selection, rooms are spacious but not anything fancy. The mini gulf is pretty run down needs renovation but it'll do. They were able to get two rooms together for my family which was nice.
