The staff was amazing from start to finish! Great customer service and amazing room service. Very clean and so much fun for the whole family. The life guards on staff for the water park and pool were extremely nice and helpful and very attentive to the children! We had a mishandled reservation on our end through a 3rd party company we booked through and the hotel staff and manager was amazing at helping us get it fixed and alleviating the stress of the mishap from the 3rd party company. I have never enjoyed my stay so much from any other hotel I have ever stayed at and HIGHLY recommend staying here for anyone and everyone!

Very average
This hotel is in a great location for the park, even better, we had a fantastic view of fireworks from our balcony. The hot water was hit and miss. We put in a service call the first night we arrived for the morning, but then it was hot again so we cancelled it. Unfortunately went back and forth the three days we were there. The air conditioning unit blew out a terrible smell when the fan was on. We considered requesting a room change, but were too exhausted to pack everything up. It seems to be an old hotel that just hasn't been maintained to top quality. It was also a little annoying to have the small waterpark area and the pool so separate from each other. For the price, plus the extra 25US/night for parking, I would say not worth it.
