I enjoyed my clean room with a hot tub. I also enjoyed my balcony and the staff was friendly. The staff suggested I stay on the sixth floor which was the best idea for me and a recommendation. I would highly recommend and do plan on staying again at the resort.

The outside of the property looks Amazing. When you enter the rooms it is Old and Outdated. The best thing for some travelers it was Pet Friendly. The elevator continued to be or it was a good thing they had 2. The pools and the water park is it’s Main Attraction.

Property was clean, convenient parking can be exhausting at times due to all the travel coming through staying at the hotel. Attraction stand inside the hotel the lady that was working there was extremely nice. Check in was ok. A lot of waiting before they call the next person to be checked in, not sure if it’s just letting to computer update from the last transaction or what but I want complain to much about that. Overall I would recommend the location to stay.
