We were disappointed in the condition of the property. The rooms inside had been updated but with cheap materials and were already in a state of disrepair. The exterior of the hotel was also in a state of disrepair. The pool in one half of the building had been drained for some reason. There was an insane amount of noise coming from the pool on the east side so there was no way we could sleep past 8:30. I don’t think we would ever stay there again. It was nice in the 90’s. Now it just looks like the owners want money to keep rolling in while they put little to nothing into it. Just like the park.

The room was bare minimum. There were 3 light bulbs out, tape left on the walls, the floor was dirty and had wrappers laying on the ground. They had one of the pools closed, I had not known this until we went to go to the pool with two small slides. I told the front desk I was not going to be staying and he got my name and all he said was "ok, got you checked out" didn't ask why or anything. When I asked about a refund he said I'd have to call back and speak with management the next day. We checked out before 630.

Despite Monday being a holiday the pool was closed. They have a policy if there is no lifeguard present the pool can’t be open. So it was a total waste. The ice machine wasn’t even plugged in. The tile in the bathroom was peeling up.

Nice place to stay. I would have to say only have 2 things that would have been kinda nice. First thing, I wish there was one way film in the windows facing the parking lot as you can see into the rooms anytime of day when the curtain is up. Second thing, would have liked there to be a microwave in the rooms. With having a restaurant/bar in the hotel it would have been nice to have a place to warm up food. Overall nice place to stay.

Check in was fine. Went to the pool, parents were not around for a majority of the kids there. Fire alarm went off and we were given no direction what to do. Kids running anround screaming and yelling, including at 1am and 5am up and down the halls, kids had party poppers that they let off all over in halls and down by pool area. Bartender at swim up bar was rude to those that went to purchase.

Lifeguard stalked us. My daughter and I and my 3 & 4 your old grandchildren were the only people in the pool and I do not know how many times he just circled blowing the whistle multiple times for what we do not know. After spending $50 in the arcade to earn a train whistle, someone knocked on our door and said the whistle was bothering the lifeguard. I suggest you take that up with the arcade. The kids love it there, but we will not go back.

The rooms were decent but that was it. The pools were absolutely disgusting. One of the three pools was closed. The other pool has stuff floating in it including bandaids and giant hair wads. The small children’s pool had a kid poop in it and they kept it open and was putting kids swim still. There were no towels. When I went to the front desk to ask for pool towels they told me to go back to the pool area and look for some. The gift shop has nothing in it and couldn’t even find a staff member to help me. Since swimming was a bust we decided to go to the arcade and it was closed. It was a Saturday and the arcade closed at 4. Check in isn’t even until four so that makes no sense. We ended up leaving and finding something else to do.

The second pool was closed! And so was the arcade! My child was having her birthday there. Her favorite part is going to the arcade. The pool was packed due to the other being closed. It was hard to keep track of all my children I had at the party. I feel I should have been offered a discount because of two out of their three featured amenities were closed.

Not as fun as we thought it would be the pool and arcade closed at 9. There was only 1 kiddie slide was thinking there was more. No vending machines. Hideabed sofa was markedbroke and so had to get a rollaway. Wish they could have mentioned the hideabed sofa at check in because we didnt noticed til bed and we had to wait a half hour for it to be delivered.
