Really clean and nice room; comfortable bed!! And loved the bedding. Above average hotel breakfast!! I think the indoor water park is a huge perk for families and kids. They also had a party room and game room/arcade and fitness center. I noticed they had coin laundry on my floor as well; I didn’t use it but it is nice to have the option. The staff was friendly and helpful. I really appreciated my stay at this hotel!

There was some noise due to my room being directly next to the ice machine. The iron and ironing board were a bit dirty but I was able to easily clean them.

The people at the front desk were amazing. We had a little issue on our hand (our fault) and they did everything they could to help. Bed were comfy and rooms were decent.

Rooms weren't 100% clean. We got a handicap accessible room and the shower wasn't clean at all. And we were on the first floor close to the pool so the room was humid and everything felt damp. Got to change rooms and second room was better. Just minor stains around the room. Pool was fun but loud.

This hotel was amazing! The rooms were nice and the facilities were good too. Good variety of breakfast items and foods available in the waterpark. Convenient location to walk to a few places to get other food options as well.

Bathrooms didn't seem to have a fan vent, but probably work based on construction. A damp feel in the room most likely due to first floor by water park, but wasn't horrible. AC until worked well.

Breakfast was amazing. The water park was so fun and well staffed. They also allowed us to check in early with no additional cost. Staff were helpful and kind

Bed was not comfortable, and exterior was a little run down. Waterpark staff should be paying better attention. Lots of interacting with one another and on their phones when they should have been watching the swimmers.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We needed a little more time after check out and they allowed us to stay longer without a fee. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The bests were quite comfortable.

I liked that our room was clean and comfortable. I loved the waterpark. The breakfast in the morning provided lots of good healthy options. The pancakes were a hit with our grandchildren.

We had a king room, it was on the 3rd floor. Very quiet on a Wednesday night. Bed was comfortable, pillows were comfortable, room was clean. We did not use the water park, we were there to ride the Paul Bunyan Bike Trail, which was easy to ride to from the hotel.
