Everything was great, except that everything opens late. As a mom of a 4 yr. old we were up and ready to start our day at 8 AM, but nothing was open besides Dunkin Donuts. The pool didn't open for another 2 hrs. Difficult to explain to a child that the pool is closed for hours yet.

TV did not work in the room lightbulbs were burnt out and you they close too early and opened it too late. Barely had time to do anything. And paying for parking was a joke.

Silvana

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I like how easy it was to check in but I didn’t like that there was no direction. I had no idea what area to park in or which way my room was. It would have been nice to have a brochure of what or where things were or at least an arrow at kiosk to “go this way”. I also didn’t know the facility did not accept cash or what hours the water park was open until. Otherwise it was great- just a little vague for someone that’s never been.
