The staff was friendly and helpful, checking us in and answering our questions. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. I was impressed with the comfort level of the king bed; probably the most comfortable hotel bed ever! The waterpark was great fun, and not at all crowded. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase. Just a heads up…no lockers, so keep that in mind. We enjoyed the complementary breakfast as well. There was a nice variety of items to choose from. And the dining area was neat and clean. I would definitely recommend Rapid River Lodge! We had a great stay!

Thr bathroom was so dirty. It had hair every where. I toilet part near the floor had dried up urine on it. There is so dust on the fridge i wrote mt name in it. Behind the dressers has a crap ton of wrappers, by the bed found cerriros and hair pins. The room didn't even look loke the cleaner did anything,i dought she even changed the beds. Never again will i pay 200 dollars to stay there. Thr front desk kid did move us rooms, not much better at all. We used the waterpark and let. Waste of money

Why do you have a handicapped so far from the elevator? The room had no kleenex and the shelf in the shower was loose, so when you put anything on it, it fell on the floor. Otherwise, it was a nice room with a comfortable bed and pillows.
