Nice hotel, staff was friendly. Breakfast was good! Make sure you put your do not disturb sign out the night before they come around early to clean by 9 30 am! Only complaint we had was the hot tub had jets (bubbles). Pool was cold and the area was dirty we were there later in the evening so maybe thats why? But overall its a nice hotel!

Birthday weekend
I reserved a suite which was really a bust. I thought there would be two tv and there was not. Over by the beds, 2 queens, we were cramped. Too close to the window and half wall. I would not waste my money next time!

My family of 3 enjoyed the stay. We went to 6 flags, and just slept for one night. The room was clean, bathroom looks newly renovated (although there are marks and chips on the vanity… maybe caused by other past customers), check-in was easy, 10 min drive from 6 flags, close to many restaurants and shops. We had no complaints!

Amazing service
Our trip was absolutely amazing because of Lucas and Alex. Lucas helped us when we knew we got our checkout time wrong, and he gave us a FREE late check out! We went out at night to get steak and shake, when I walked in my drink carrier broke! I felt so embarrassed and like I had done something wrong, I went up to Lucas and apologized profusely and asked for cleaning supplies to clean it up. Lucas then proceeded to make me feel so much better and tell me not to worry about it and enjoy my stay, he was so understanding. We had a suite for 5 people and we all needed to shower but the shower wouldn’t drain after the first person showering, Lucas and Alex then offered us a free room to shower in for our comfort, then to apologize for the inconvenience they gave me a free Ice cream cone to help me feel better. Definitely the best customer service I’ve received in a long time. I will definitely be coming back on my next visit to six flags. Lucas and Alex are the best employees and deserve a raise.
