Meh!!

Both bathroom and bed linens were dirty. In an attempt to call the front desk, we discovered that the phone in the room didn’t work. Elevator smelled of marijuana. Enjoyed the staff at Tony Roma’s.

Family weekend get away

Hotel overall was good. Hotel was clean. Breakfast was surprisingly really good!!! Arcade and water park was average. Definitely well used and could use some up grades. The one downfall was the smell and amount of chlorine used in the water park. It hit you once you walked into the park. We could only be in there maybe 2 hrs and the kids started to cough so bad almost vomiting and our eyes burned for a couple hrs after getting out.

Fun time

We had a family gathering for the weekend and very much enjoyed the Water Park and overall hotel experience. Our room was comfortable and clean. The water park is a nice size for younger children. Lots of fun was had by all. We would book again.

SO OUTDATED. Way too expensive of a night for how outdated the rooms and water park area are. The main slide and hot tub were not open all hours of the park being open.

Stayed on a Monday night and water park closed, so no kids running around. Nice and quiet. Beautiful view of the river from our room. Room was clean as was the hotel in general.

Everything is the same from when I was a kid. Both hot tubs were filled with kids the whole time when one is supposed to be adults only. Waterpark is rusted and out dated. Not enough tables and chairs in the Waterpark we had to sit on the ground and make our own pile of stuff. Breakfast is packed again not enough tables and chairs, there was lines just to get on the elevator then lines to get to the breakfast. We ended up going somewhere else to eat.

I felt like the waterpark could use a much needed update. There is only one way to get into the waterpark and you have to go through the lobby while people are checking in and the doors kept opening because of the traffic. I wouldn’t thane minded if it was summer but we did stay while there was a freeze warning with negative degree weather. I felt like if there was possibly a remodel they could figure out way to avoid walking through the lobby and fix some cosmetic things the waterpark needed.

Maintenance Required

The hotel is in major need of maintenance. The carpet had a hole in it, the door had a crack at the bottom, the desk drawer would not stay closed, and a lot of evidence of wear and tear that have been neglected.

We had a great time! Only issue was housekeeping didnt clean our room. They did call in a manager and our room was #5 that she had to clean. I hope the morning person was fired. We will absolutely go again, the grands had such an exciting time.
