Loved the room 325 and the view. The pool was nice especially the sunning area outside the pool. The food was okay at Willy Tā€™s but the entertainment 8/31 was very good. We had an issue with the staff entering our room unannounced. She had longer blonde hair a taller bigger built younger woman. She entered my room, shut the door and stood by the door and then left. I have a feeling if we werenā€™t there she would have gone through our things. I told the front desk manager about it and she talked to the staff. One girl had a baseball cap and the other longer blonde hair. The girl with the long hair was screaming and making a fuss over management of the front desk staff and my granddaughter finally went in the hall and asked her to be quiet. This was at 8:45 am and check out wasnā€™t until 1 pm as we requested late check out. Zachary or Daquary I believe was the front desk manager. She was very accommodating and runs a tight ship. Besides this incident everything else was great. I would stay there again. Debbie Weckman

They put us in the wrong room and had to switch at 1am. Itā€™s pretty expensive for what you get. No complimentary breakfast. Outrageous fees for it being a resort plus we got charged for an extra person and cleaning fees. Not very kid friendly - people constantly pounding on the floor below us because our kids were just walking around.

We loved our stay at Thumper Pond. We stayed on a Thursday night and had the entire waterpark to ourselves for several hours that evening as well as the following morning. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Was price friendly for a last minute stay with plenty of activities for us and our kids to enjoy.

We were on the second floor. About 5 or 6 in the morning we could hear stomping on the floor above us. Very irritating. We stay here often and was the worst food I have ever had at a restaurant. The ribs were terrible. We did not go there for breakfast. We were in the most northly part of the building and the girl told us parking out front was just as close as parking out back. She couldn't have been more wrong. I just got a new hip so we finally realized it was much closer to park in the north lot where our room was. Worst stay at Thumper ever. We heard it got worse with the new owner a year ago. ???

Not so good :(
We were in room 313. The room had an odor. The bathroom ceramic floor had several cracked tiles. The bathtub faucet wobbled and never completely turned off so water ran all night. The sink faucet sprayed sharp streams of water so that it splashed all over the counter and our clothes. It took five minutes running water to get it hot. The bathroom light switch included the fan which was so noisy it would wake anyone sleeping. Twice I stood at the desk 7-8 minutes before someone came. The price we paid per night did not reflect our experience at your hotel!
