Seemed a bit under staffed and took a while to check in and check out. Our shampoo and body wash dispensers were completely out in the shower so we used what we brought. The hair dryer is not in a bag and hangs on the bathroom door handle. Staff nice and very clean facility. Only one washer and one dryer but work well. Quiet and feels safe. Would stay here again.

A little outdated. Sometimes our room keys would not work. We had to try them multiple times. In our room, the shower had no way to stop the water out of shower so we had to build a wall of towels to keep the bathroom floor from getting soaked. Toilet lid was loose and tv remote only worked at close range. Breakfast was good and access to our room to vehicle was easy. Check in was quick and painless.

King suite was a joke. Dirty carpet. Jacuzzi didnt work properly. Shower was horrible with inconsistent temperature. Bed lighting flickered. Breakfast was out of utensils and half of the food. Pools smaller than expected. Staff is friendly. Parking is nice with tags so only people staying there are allowed overnight. Its right across from Adventure Land so thats convenient. After they charge you the nightly rate, they tack on an additional $200 for damages even though the rooms are so poorly maintained im not sure how they can tell what was already in rough shape and what has newly been damaged....
