Check out times need to be staggered, because there are too many people using elevators and front desk all at the same time. Shower was alright, but leaked from the faucet pretty decently. Room walls needed to be cleaned really well. Splatters on the walls.

Furniture in room was dirty. Cleaning person walked into room without knocking when we were still staying in the room. Took forever to check in and took 3 people to get it right. Got overcharged 2 times. Got checked an extra few because we used Expedia.

The hotel needs some updating, especially the waterpark. At least a new coat of paint. Beds were comfortable and seemed clean. Our toilet was not clean and old food from a previous guest was in our room fridge.
