The staff was great. Our niece had her wedding reception here and I couldn't believe how the staff worked with us and they had a wonderful attitude helping us to get it ready for the reception and anything we needed, they were there for us. Very polite and accommodating. I was so impressed with all of them. The rooms were... More

This hotel is very convenient if you are visiting the Adventureland Amusement Park, but there are other hotels close to the park that are much less expensive. A balcony room on the east side (newer section) was 136+. The trolley to and from the park is convenient but it is just a short walk if you have a stroller or... More

Stayed here with the little one and grandparents for 2 nights last summer with the main purpose of the trip being spending as much time at Adventureland as possible. Trolley ride over was very convenient. Food was typical hotel snack type foods. Two nice pool areas. One for an older crowd and the little kid pool and a pool bar!... More

We stayed here last night and we were very unsatisfied! For the price, I exspect more. The rooms were in bad shape, as in parts of the ceiling falling down. Not very clean. Food and service was not good. We had two children with us and couldn't even swim much due to at least 6 children puking and it not... More

This is where my family went for every vacation. My dad didn't like paying a lot of money for no reason, so we never went to Disney. As a kid I loved this spot and as an adult living on the other side of the country I will take my kids here. The hotel is clean and offers great food,... More

I meant to write this review a while ago - we stayed at the Adventureland Inn on September 18, 2011 (a Sunday night). We had a room that walked right out to the pool. The room was nice, the pool was nice, and we had fun. However, a word of warning - if you aren't staying here at a busy... More

We stayed in the Adventureland Inn for three nights in order to attend a state convention. I brought along my kids (13 and 2) and everyone had an excellent time. The rooms were spacious and well-cleaned. We had an upstairs poolside suite with a balcony overlooking the pool area. This included a bedroom with two double beds, a bathroom, a... More

We recently stayed in a suite at the Adventureland Inn for two nights (along with other family members booked in other rooms) with the purpose of celebrating our Granddaughter's 2nd birthday. The rooms are overpriced costing close to $200 a night. They would not honor are AARP card which I found perplexing. The suite was ok, bathroom was small, Keurig... More

My family stayed here over the July 4th weekend. The room was nice but noisy until the pool area closed. We had a balcony room overlooking one of the pool areas. The pools were nice. There were a couple of small waterslides, and the water was warm. We brought our own breakfast food and did not eat at the resort.... More

We have stayed at the Adventureland Inn at different times over the past 10 years with the last time being 5 years ago. Since then, the hotel has renovated a great number of rooms as well as the adjacent hallways. This includes: new paint, new carpet, new furniture in the rooms including flat screen TVs and larger refrigerators than in... More
