Check in was fast and efficient. Staff were friendly. The only problem was stuff shutting down earlier than anticipated. Waterpark is closed from 3-4 for safety check which is understandable and appreciated but slide was closed at 2:30. Happy hour at the bar from 5-7 but they closed at 6:45 and stopped taking food orders at 6. Signs were not very visible to have known when to order before they closed. Arcade closes with the pool which was a bummer for everything to shut all at one since we had just checked in at 3. Overall would stay again but would request better signage for all the closures and times.

I wish they would make changes
This hotel could be amazing. Well set-up hotel in a nice location. Waterpark is fantastic, they have laser tag, arcade, etc. The problem is the property is filthy, room and bedding smell like stale beer, and the staff couldn’t care less about anything. I really hope they make changes and take better care of the property. Also, apparently they no longer give hotel guests discounts on laser tag, so it was $45 for 10 minutes for 4 people.
