Way too many people for 2 elevators. Very, very long line for breakfast which was included. The pool was nice but I believe people from the outside are allowed in if they pay. Makes it difficult for patrons who paid to stay and play.

The front desk was helpful and responsive. Stephanie was especially wonderful. The concession stand at the water park and the manager at Tony Roma’s were rude and we had to basically beg for food. Food at the concession stand was over done and gross. Tony Roma’s food was good and the hostess and waiter were great. The manager originally refused us service because we had 11 people and she said the kitchen was too busy. The hostess and waiter were great and apologized for the manager. There were plenty of tables open and we said we didn’t mind waiting.

Hotel was clean and staff were great! Quick check in! The waterpark was great and our children (2, 4, & 11) loved it! There are spots of the waterpark that could use come work as I would say the equipment is showing its age but the water was warm, staff were awesome, plenty of towels, maybe could use a little more seating/tables. Great stay and experience, would for sure go back again!
