We used to come here a few times a year for birthday parties when my kids were in school. We haven’t been back in a while, and just recently returned with our adult kids and their families for a 2day Christmas stay. This newly renovated Wyndham (used to be Holiday Inn) has huge suites, and hypoallergenic vinyl flooring! It now has a huge lounge area off the lobby with a pool table. The familiarity of the water park had us feeling sentimental. It was amazing and we so much fun. Also, the concession was better than we remembered! And the guy running it was calm and efficient even though at times the line was a bit long. The consensus is; we need to make this a new family Christmas tradition! Love this hotel!

We stayed one night, and had a great time. The waterpark is just big enough, and wasn’t too busy. We got a table right away and didn’t have to wait long for the water slides or at the concessions. Great drinks and decent food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and nice. Hallway was loud (we were by the elevators), especially at 7:30 am. Room needed more warm blankets- it was so cold! I did turn up the heat, but it didn’t seem to help in the living room area. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable. The breakfast was decent, though I’m not sure I’d have paid for it. We got it free because of a room error/overbooking, so that was nice. We love this hotel and waterpark and will be back soon.

Lower Bunk bed kept falling apart, the base slats did not stay and fell off so the bed would sink to the floor. King bed was literally like sleeping on a piece of plywood. Room layout was nice, rest of the stay was comfortable

My youngest son is allergic to smoke. I am medical cannabis user who rolled a joint and smoked outside never take/or smoke my medicine around kids or inside any place not even my home. Was charged $250 and didn't even smoke. Also had my sons shorts dropped off by his mom and the frint desk thru them out. Highly recommend going elsewhere

When we got there, the bar and the restaurant were closed, the handicap door openers were broken and there were multiple holes in both our sheets and comforter. We found hair in the towels and our socks were black after walking on the floors for 4 minutes in our room. There were lightbulbs burnt out and the elevators were disgusting. There was an ash tray and joints just left by the front door that we saw staff smoking from as well. Felt super gross and when I called down to ask for more towels after we received no housekeeping, they threw a bunch of hand towels in a pile by our room door.

We stayed here because it was close to the light rail for the vikings game. The waterpark was alright. Our room was suppose to be for 7 people but it was only big enough for 6 and it was small. The hotel was recently remodeled and already crusty. Looked nice but closer look was gross. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable.
