The hotel has a convenient location near fun attractions, and I appreciated the access to the water park which kept my kids entertained. However, the staff's communication was lacking, and the water park cleanliness was a serious concern that could deter future visits. The rooms were decent, but overall, I felt we didn't get our money's worth.

The hotel has a lot of potential, especially with renovations in progress, but currently has a few issues that need addressing. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, and the location near attractions was a plus. However, the rooms showed signs of wear and tear, and the waterpark facilities were not well-maintained. Overall, it could be a great place for families once improvements are completed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the family amenities like the waterpark and arcade were fun for the kids. However, the service was lacking, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. The location is convenient for family outings, but that didn’t make up for the negative aspects we encountered during our stay.
