Lifeguard stalked us. My daughter and I and my 3 & 4 your old grandchildren were the only people in the pool and I do not know how many times he just circled blowing the whistle multiple times for what we do not know. After spending $50 in the arcade to earn a train whistle, someone knocked on our door and said the whistle was bothering the lifeguard. I suggest you take that up with the arcade. The kids love it there, but we will not go back.

The rooms were decent but that was it. The pools were absolutely disgusting. One of the three pools was closed. The other pool has stuff floating in it including bandaids and giant hair wads. The small children’s pool had a kid poop in it and they kept it open and was putting kids swim still. There were no towels. When I went to the front desk to ask for pool towels they told me to go back to the pool area and look for some. The gift shop has nothing in it and couldn’t even find a staff member to help me. Since swimming was a bust we decided to go to the arcade and it was closed. It was a Saturday and the arcade closed at 4. Check in isn’t even until four so that makes no sense. We ended up leaving and finding something else to do.

The second pool was closed! And so was the arcade! My child was having her birthday there. Her favorite part is going to the arcade. The pool was packed due to the other being closed. It was hard to keep track of all my children I had at the party. I feel I should have been offered a discount because of two out of their three featured amenities were closed.

This is a motel. There are over 100 people that work for Adventureland living in this hotel. They have made sure the place is as dirty as a hoarders kitchen, after dark when they get off work they throw parties in the parking lot creating a super unsafe feeling. We left and came back to find a zip tie on our patio door. The said residents hang their laundry to dry on banisters of the suites and then go to work at the front desk. I was actually terrified for my life staying here alone with three young girls. My daughter (15) was sexually harassed by workers in uniform drinking and playing music on a speaker near the pool that was in a different language. I could go on for hours about our terrible experience but please if you are a family DO NOT STAY HERE. It isn’t your average fear, even the security patrolling is scared of these individuals living here and refused to engage.
