Fun-filled, magical escape with the kids. This is way better than other water park hotels. It’s clean with spacious rooms. It’s not overly crowded. I highly recommend. Will go again for sure.

There was a parking charge of $19.00 US per night which I thought should have been included in the price of the room. On your expedia sight there was no mention of this additional charge to my room. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTED.

Above all our stay was great. The only thing that I would have to say is, we wanted to stay an extra hour for checkout, and they refuse to let us have an extra hour they normally don’t charge us, which is pretty poor. Also, there was cold in the shower.
