Location was at the half way point home for us, perfect location. Reasonable value though seemed to be designed for the summer months. We went to the breakfast barn and had the best breakfast in years.

Lots of sub par parents not watching kids with liquor in hand. Lots of activity near our room until about 11pm.

It wasnt far from the places we visited ,the Waterpark was awesome. We will have to come back in the summer

The waterpark was packed it took awhile to get in. And when we 1st got out room the door was jammed and when got maintenance to help went in the room and the beds were used and the door between rooms was opened. Called receptionist and she gave us new room plus she made it up by giving us 4 passes for thr waterpark.

A very fun resort with a clean room very comforable beds and a great family atmosphere. They had staffing issues in the waterpark when we were there. Without telling us they gave us a substantial discount which shows they have top notch management.

The line at the food/drink cabana was very long. I felt so bad for the one man show that was working. Once they get fully staffed I don't see why we would not stay again.

LOCATION WAS GREAT. SO MUCH TO DO WITHIN A FEW MILES FROM STAY.

PARKING WAS DIFFICULT AT TIMES. MY FRIEND WAS OLDER AND HAD HARD TIME FINDING CLOSE PARKING TO UNLOAD LUGGAGE AT CHECK-IN BUT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE UP CLOSER AT ANOTHER DOORWAY AT DEPARTURE.

We always stay here when we go, and we enjoy it eveeytime.

Our room was oddly small for a typical hotel room, very small window as well. But very clean and cozy. Fine for a night.

The location, and views. Also access to water park and pools.

No breakfast included. Only two water park passes included so we had to pay for two extra each day.

The staff were beyond polite, helpful, and accommodating. The location was great with lake views!

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been quarantined for so long- I wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness of my room and the water park area. My shower walls very obviously had not been wiped down- which made me question the rest of the room... The water park area was something else; There was food dropped on the floor, people had food and beverages in the water areas, and it really was overcrowded. The floor was also very slick in several places-

The on-site restaurant and bar were nice and friendly. Food good.

Rooms were not very clean and no daily maid service was offered. The hotel need to provide breakfast, seemed strange that they did not.
