It was a very fun stay, the wife and kids loved the experience. I can see it being very easy to get carried away and spend money there. The room was cozy and the kid enjoyed his bunkbed! Only complaint. For the price of the stay and all the money you could easily spend there if you book a room the parking should be free, but that wasn't a deal breaker. The rest of the experience was a phenomenal family trip!

My check-in wait was rather excessive. And I watched the lobby clear twice of other customers who came before and after I did before I received a room. And had to ask 2 times before requesting to speak with a manager about the matter. The rest of my stay was great!

It was nice place to stay.. rooms were very clean. our granddaughter had a good experience for her 3rd birthday. The quality of the food in the main restaurant was in need of help especially with the pricing of our meals..purchase real eggs not substitute eggs would, a steak with flavor and tenderness not bland and tough, drinks were good..the pizza at the hungry wolf was good.
