Clean rooms, excellent staff, they were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was great. Only downside was kids in room next to us yelling in hallway, banging on walls, in and out of room and slamming the door late at night

While the staff is amazing, the hotel is definitely a little outdated. There was some mold in the bathroom and paint peeling. The water park while fun was also a little outdated and rusty. Breakfast was hot and tasty but few gluten free options.
