We had a king room, it was on the 3rd floor. Very quiet on a Wednesday night. Bed was comfortable, pillows were comfortable, room was clean. We did not use the water park, we were there to ride the Paul Bunyan Bike Trail, which was easy to ride to from the hotel.

great location, close to coffee shops and restaurants; the water park was very nice and kid friendly with max depths of 3 feet and plenty of area for younger kids. free breakfast was nice and had pretty good options.
overall the room was nice, but we found a nail clipping, a gummy bear and a hair clip on the floor so it wasn’t cleaned well prior to our stay.

Everything was nice except I don't like the kind of beds that are a foot higher than at home, because I'm afraid the kids may roll off the side and it's quite ways to fall. So I end up placing pillows and couch cushions on either side in case the children fall . With lower normal beds that would not be an issue.

Good location, good staff, excellent parking, nice breakfast.
The room was just down from the pool area and constant traffic (somewhat loud) past the room was annoying. I was surprised they has a single king bed situated in that location. Seems illogical to me.

hotel was nice, staff was very friendly
kinda pricey, pool needs updates, looking a little worn and tough. why do you not allow adult beverages in the pool area, never had a pool not allow drinks for the adults.

Rooms were clean and comfortable. breakfast area was large and had a good selection of food. Waterpark was fantastic.
The A/C in the room was set to 60° and it was still hot. We slept with just the flat sheets.

Everything was like the website said it was, some confusion on the water park bracelets, and the having to get out every hour for 20 mins. But Al in all very good . Would definitely stay again

Even with staffing and supply shortages due to covid, the room was spotless and the staff was unfailingly professional, friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable, we enjoyed the water park and had a great stay.
