8/10 Good
"Friendly front counter employee. Water park was nice for young kids, but the water was super cold so my son did not want to play on that side. We enjoyed the pool instead. It was a maze to get over to it bc I didn't realize it was a different building then the hotel. We stayed 2 nights, it was nice to see fresh towels after the first night. I was uncomfortable that there wasn't a fitted sheet on the bed. It was 2 flat sheets, thin blanket and another sheet. I personally prefer a fitted sheet bc we toss and turn then now we are sleeping on the mattress protector which I know is most likely not cleaned between each stay. Otherwise it wasn't bad."
