Very nice place but it was during spring break from schools so there was a lot of young children running around everywhere so it was not very quiet.

Wonderful stay
I came in for a funeral and we stayed at the waters. It was a nice reprieve for my grandsons from a hard loss.
Thank you so much, very courteous front desk and staff.

Restless night
Heater in room too noisy for a good night’s sleep. Sliding patio door needed a strong human to open. Should be lubricated and cleaned. Floor under our breakfast table a mess by 8:00 a.m.

Check-In Issue
I reserved two rooms with the option to pay at counter. The staff was not able to change payments during check in. I travel for work alot and have never had this issue before. I don't know why this was such an issue. Hotel was fine for being under construction at the time of stay.

Downstairs neighbors called noise complaints 2 nights in a a row when we walked around after 10. We had 3 young children. There was no party or drinking. We could hear the people above us but never complained. This is not the staff's fault but I will definitely ask for lower level in the future.

Glad to be there off season
Stayed here because of the water “park” - really was just multiple pools with two slides that one could use. We got there and slides closed early, so we couldn’t use them. There were 3-4 pools to use - one was for water volleyball, one for littles and the other was 31/2 ish ft deep. Lots of tables in the pool area. There is a game room across from the pool where you load up a game card to play a variety of games for tickets - skeeball, baskets, Halo, strong man, driving & shooting games - that kept little busy. Hotel was getting a facelift - areas were roped off for work. Which I don’t mind, means the hotel cares. Not sure if I would want to be here in the summer when tourism is in full swing. Didn’t use coffee shop, breakfast or restaurant.

Check in with payment
At Check-in was told that I could not change the method of payment. I did not pre-pay for the room when booking through Hotels.com. I needed two rooms but hotel staff couldn't change the payment on the second room. I travel for work and have never ran into this before. Rooms are fine but not sure why this was too difficult to resolve splitting room costs
