“Great place for the kids . Had a lot of fun, stayed 1 night. Rooms a little dusty but over all was clean. Arcade is over priced for what they have. The breakfast buffet was good. Food at buckets needs a little work. Water park was great some squirt cannons don't work but the slide were the best part. Staff was nice and helpful. Thanks you”
“This place was so much fun!!!!! rooms were clean,no bugs, a little bit pricy but overall, the best and i totally recommend also im a kid and i stole my moms computer to write this HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEH let me add a little side note someone decided to let their fellow children pull the fire alarm and think it was funny but as a 7 year old at that time, PURE CHAOS ... but eventually that same kid who pulled the fire...”
“So much fun for the kids. Taking off a star because they need better ventilation in the water park area, it was a bit rough on the eyes and lungs for some of us. But overall it was all very clean and fun. Will definitely bring the kids back when it’s summer and they have the doors and outdoor pool open.”
