The staff was amazing at the front desk and in the water park. Breakfast was pancakes, biscuits& gravy, fruit, yogurt, cereal, several different bread options. The water park might consider allowing adults in after 9pm especially for the hot tub and lazy river.

The hotel was great! We opted for the family suit and found the room to be the perfect size. The water park was a lot of fun, although they were short on towels so be prepared to bring your own or go without.
