Pool was amazing. Room was good Ambience was perfect. Loved the activity options!
Pool closed too early and one of the two hot tubs should have allowed kids. There are a lot of spiders around the cabins- big, big spiders. The coffee bar in the main lobby I would rate a 1- poor. You don’t need to have cooled creamers, but liquid creamer options would make your coffee bar more up-scale. Your pricing was a little high

Clean, friendly, and nice water park. Small but nice balcony.
Odd pool hours -10:00am to 8:00pm no access to either hot tub outside of those hours Outside hot tub jet pump wasn't working properly, kept shutting off after a couple minutes and wouldn't immediately operate when pushed again. Restaurants hours were very limited.

What breakfast? I didn't know there was one.
Information on how to operate the TV and paper brochures with information for the area and about the resort. Some people don't like the QR codes. The desk staff was not overly friendly and gave me the wrong receipt when I checked out.

The hotel was in a great location to everything else we wanted to do/see. The hotel itself was clean, the staff were friendly, and the Waterpark was a huge hit for my kids. The room amenities were just as described when booking.
The Waterpark is open to the public as well as hotel guests. This caused it to be quote crowded on the 98 degree day when only the outdoor Waterpark was open.

Everything was nice and new. Good parking. Restaurants were nice.
The room we had was a lot smaller than expected. King size bed that was about it. No chairs or desk to look at laptop. Had to sit on the bed.

Clean well-maintained environment.
The check-in time was late at 4pm but check-out was at the normal 11am which felt a little unfair considering the room prices. Also there was no complimentary breakfast but did provide good morning coffee.

location, close to services. great pool and zip line looked fun.
water by resort wasn’t great. some trash and oil. no breakfast options, even granola bars or muffins and bananas would go a long way.

Location was at the half way point home for us, perfect location. Reasonable value though seemed to be designed for the summer months. We went to the breakfast barn and had the best breakfast in years.
Lots of sub par parents not watching kids with liquor in hand. Lots of activity near our room until about 11pm.

We ate at the Sisters Breakfast Mattresses were good
Our room 412 was a lockout room pretty small. Neighbors children ( not your fault) were load and noisey.
