only ok...

We stayed here for 2 nights last weekend. The website is extremely enticing with the photos of the pool however, the place is in need of a fresh coat of paint and definitely some updating. it was shabby. Our rooms were $149/night so not a great deal. We did get 4 free tickets to Mt Olympus with our stay (2 for each night you stay there) but the weather was so lousy that the only option was to go to the indoor waterpark, which was small, cold and CROWDED. But that wasn't the hotels fault. As far as the "8" pools they have, well, the indoor pool was FREEZING and had 1 dinky slide and a few pieces of candy to climb on. There was a small kiddie pool inside and a hot tub. The outside pools were nice but again, need some paint and bleach to kill the mold and moss growing.
The rooms were standard hotel rooms but the beds were slightly uncomfortable and needed updating. It was clean though. The bathroom was dark. No microwave but there is a small fridge. I'd recommend a balcony if you have small toddlers that need to nap so you have somewhere to go while they do nap!
Also worth noting - this hotel has a sister hotel in the Wintergreen which has a nicer indoor and outdoor pool area. As guests at the Carousel you can use the Wintergreen's pools too. They have more to do outside and inside for small children...probably up to 12 or so would be happy in either hotel. We ended up over there, wishing we had stayed there instead. So, maybe next time!
