fun mini getaway
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/28/09
I read a handful of online reviews on this hotel after I booked it and was quite worried after reading the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised by our overall stay. The rooms are nothing extravagant (we had a 2 double bed room) but they are clean and adequate. We have 3 kids ranging from 11-16 and all of them had fun. The waterpark was nice...lots to do and my 11 year old had the BEST time. Teens might become a little bored after a while.
We had a drink at Tony Romas (hotel restaurant) in the evening...nice atmosphere...and then breakfast in the morning...little pricey for breakfast but the service was good and so was the food. We had a wireless connection everywhere in the hotel which was nice.
You'll find the check in/out on second floor, but not a big deal.
I do think families with kids would enjoy this hotel as a mini getaway... (little kids must have parent w/them in the waterpark) there are lifeguards walking around but not babysitting). There is also a little concession stand in the waterpark. The only STUPID thing was that the tv menu advertises "adult" channels and I don't know how easily accessible that crap is but for families w/ kids it's scary...plus who wants creepers that watch that stuff roaming around a family friendly hotel / waterpark anyway? We paid $116 for an overnight stay w/ 5 park passes (2 double bed)
