Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and relatively comfortable, I felt they lacked attention to detail in terms of cleanliness. The service was friendly but had some issues with over-chlorinated pool and inconsistent cocktail mixing. The location was convenient for accessing various activities, even though it felt a bit crowded and in need of some maintenance. Dining options were hit or miss, with some positive surprises in the menu contrasted with overpriced and tasteless dishes. Overall, it was an average stay with both good and not-so-good aspects to consider.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were spotless and just as I expected. We were lucky to be on the 5th floor, away from the water park, so noise wasn't an issue. Our room was spacious enough for the three of us, with plenty of room for all our belongings. However, there was a bit of noise from other rooms that could be heard.
The hotel offers a convenient location for exploring nearby attractions while serving as a great meeting place for families. The dining options were tasty, but the early closing times were a slight inconvenience. The rooms, despite being dated, were kept clean and satisfactory for a comfortable stay.
I was really happy that our room was ready at 3 pm when we checked in; it was spacious enough for the three of us with plenty of room for our clothes and coats for a weekend in February. The hotel staff were helpful, although some, including the lifeguards, were not very friendly at times. Overall, the location was ideal for reaching all our activities and close to various restaurants. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a good selection of hot and fresh food at the buffet, but waiting in line for over an hour felt a bit too long. The facilities were decent, but we had to wait until the room was ready, which gave my husband and me something fun to do while waiting. The price could be justified given the overall experience.
The hotel was ready at 3pm, which I appreciated, and being a water park hotel, the rooms were clean, though not as spotless as expected for the price paid. The service was very nice and attentive overall, although some staff members, including the lifeguards, were not very friendly. The location was fantastic for reaching various activities, but there were areas needing maintenance. The dining offered a wide array of options but fell short in quality before 9. The facilities were satisfactory.
