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.

Breakfast was good and staff helpful. The poor mark was the cleanliness of the room. There was a hairband and what looked like a piece of balloon on the floor by the nightstand. Made me question how well the room was cleaned.

Review then and now

They used to keep the pool open all day. Now they close from 1-4. Didappointing. Also they no longer let you check in before 4 pm. And had to pay to swim cause we showed up at 8:30 am. Besides these things I love the lazy river and love to stay in the pool all day long. Have breakfast. My grandson loves the slides and hot tub.

If you want a water park, this is fine Price is high for the quality. After a long day traveling, staff was not welcoming and when problem with Air conditioning was brought to the desk clerk, she wanted to check for herself and said it was working fine and I needed to wait longer for it to cool (after I had been in the room for 20 minutes waiting already).. It never properly cooled the room (on a 90 degree and humid day. It was not cold air blowing out it was musty room temp air that only cooled slightly but not enough to allow for good sleep. Unfortunately - the unwelcoming clerk
