Check in was fast and efficient. Staff were friendly. The only problem was stuff shutting down earlier than anticipated. Waterpark is closed from 3-4 for safety check which is understandable and appreciated but slide was closed at 2:30. Happy hour at the bar from 5-7 but they closed at 6:45 and stopped taking food orders at 6. Signs were not very visible to have known when to order before they closed. Arcade closes with the pool which was a bummer for everything to shut all at one since we had just checked in at 3. Overall would stay again but would request better signage for all the closures and times.

I don't understand why they give out tickers in the arcade for prizes but then the prize redemption is in the laser tag that I've never once seen open. You have to go and bug someone at the front desk to take you back to a closed part of the hotel to get a ring pop for a hundred million points. Just don't give out prizes, and also, fix the broken games in the arcade. It's been over a month.

Loved this motel and water park! The water and room temperature in the water park was perfect and there was plenty to keep all the kids (and adults) occupied. The rooms were clean and the bunk bed rooms were great for the kids. The only complaint I have is the arcade. There were several games out of order and the air on the air hockey table wasn’t strong enough to play at all, so I did not get to stomp my 11 year old nephew when he challenged me! Will definitely stay here again!!!

The hotel room was great except white bedspread had blood stains on it (it had been washed but should not have been used again. Arcade could have had more games and games working. Arcade was closed part of visit as storing luggage for large group. Amenities didnt have set hours or they were not followed. Laser tag closed early (we were told open until 8) so when we arrived, we couldn't play. Concessions near pool also closed early. My husband asked and staff said it was open until 8 p.m. but he was planning on leaving at 6? Pool and waterpark were FABULOUS?
