“Pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

I went with my husband and 3yr old son and we all had blast! At first I was worried because I was afraid that the rooms would be as bad as others posted. The only thing that I had to complain about was the sink had an issue, but they fixed it as soon as we complained. There was no... More

At first I was hesitant because I read these reviews before I went. I just returned from my trip today. My family myself, spouse, 9 year old, 8, and 3 year old had a room on the first floor near the pool and close to the water park entrance. At first I thought it would be noisy but it was... More

“Save your $$$$$$$$$”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2013 via mobile

I will say that my kids, 9 and 11, loved the water park. Sadly, that's the only nice thing I can say... This place is a dump! The rooms are tired and ratty looking. The bathroom had the thinnest towels I had ever seen and cracked tiles everywhere. They obviously have decided to not put anything into this property. I... More

“One star for the water park”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2013

The water park is really nice kids loved it as for the hotel it is a dump. It's an abandoned Howard Johnson's and I am not sure it's been updated since they owned it. Employees are dumpy looking with tattoo's at least hey are nice. Room really stinks and I have seen one cock roach so far. Won't return here

“WORST PLACE EVER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2013

We paid $125 a night for filthy floors, moldy looking ceiling, sink counter falling apart, shower didn't work and my room smelt of cigarette smoke after spraying it with lysol twice. We were in the non smoking section of the hotel. If we ran the heater the smell was worse. We wanted to see what the water park had to... More

Where do I start there's the algae ridden pool the smelly rooms light switches that turn on and off on their own.

Title says it all. If you're looking for a place to gather for a family reunion this is it. I never saw so many children running around a hotel outside of Disney World!
