Stayed for a night while on vacation to escape the heat. The rooms are recently remodeled and very clean. The A/C was crisp and the beds were comfy. Kids loved the water park and the arcade. Breakfast was pretty basic.

Book early for the summer, as they get sold out! Rightly so, as the rooms are clean, recently remodeled, and the water park is fantastic for the kids to run out their energy and adults to relax poolside or in the indoor-outdoor hot tub! The staff is so kind and helpful, they make it easy to relax. The continental breakfast is good - there's a waffle maker, so that's a step-up from most other hotels, and lots of other options, including boiled eggs and yogurt for protein options. Highly recommend staying here!
