Friendly staff and the gift shop was well stocked with souvenirs, snacks, and other items. Great view of the river! Pizza was delicious! It does need to be updated— wallpaper was peeling in our room and the bathtub/whirlpool was outdated. A/C was never cool enough. Close proximity to the park!

The pros: very close to park entrance. Nice pools and internal restaurants. The cons: breakfast not included and pricy, there are no dining options in the area and supermarkets are very small. There were loads of ants in the kitchen and it took the staff 2 days to take it seriously and spray them.

Staff are excellent, can’t say enough about them. Check in was great. Store is perfect for missing/forgotten items. As noted before, beds are not great but they will do. A/C in our unit worked almost too perfect 😁. If you plan to use laundry facilities which are awesome, be ready for people to not monitor the time on the washers/dryers. We just took stuff out as clothes sat for 20 minutes after cycle ended. Too many people need access for guests to be oblivious about that. Very close to park entrance. Another satisfied customer for pizza on site as well. Pizza and restaurant prices are reasonable for access.

The property has a fun retro feel. The river view was great. The bathrooms are dated. The room had a kitchette. The pools were nice. We really liked the s'mores. Had we planned ahead, we would have brought food to cook. The restaurant on site was not good. Overall, we'd stay here again. It was very close to the park entrance and a great place to stay with a family.

Reception staff not friendly. They charge $10 per day for security but charged $42.06 for 3 days stay, then I see an additional charge of 12.06 after I checked out (what a ripoff)! Balconies/patios have NO privacy! We had to keep the drapes closed on the patio door because the teenager next door would stand on their patio and look into our unit. 2 packets of coffee for 3 days. Really noisy upstairs people.
